LILIUN HARRISII 



(THE BERMUDA EASTER LILY) 

 LET US SUPPLY YOUR WANTS IN LILIES THIS SEASON 



We think we can make it to your advantage to do so, at regards both quality and price. 



The stock that we offer is not gathered indiscriminately from all kinds of sources, but is grown for us by a few selected grow- 

 ers whose stocks have been worked up from the true, originsd stock. In order to insure the health of the product, the bulbs are not 

 grown on the same field oftener than one season, other crops being grown on the field the preceding year. The ground is thor- 

 oughly manured when the previous crop is grown, leaving it in a high state of cultivation, and when the lily btubs are planted 

 no fresh manure is usedi this pevents disease and insures a crop of strong, healthy bulbs. 



In addition to this, we do not dig our bulbs as early as they are usually dug, but leave them in the ground until they arc 

 thoroughly ripened and matured. When Harrisii is good it leaves little to be desired. There is very little, if any, stock obtain- 

 able as good as the stock that we are offering. We are supplying only this one grade of selected stock and when this is disposed 

 of we uall have no more to offer. 



While the quality of the stock that we offer is of the highest^ur prices are as low as, or lower than, the prices of those who 

 offer the ordinary stodk gathered from indiscriminate sources. We are sure buyers will find our stock very satisfactory, and 

 sauch more so than the Japan-grown Longif lorum, which has badly deteriorated in recent years. 



Bear in mind that we were the original introducers of Haxrisii in Bermuda, and that we have exceptional facilities for 

 obtaining our present supplies. Also take note that the smallest btdbs that we offer are 6-7 inch bulbs, not 5-7 inch, as usually 

 offered. 



6- 7 inch bulbs, 335 to the case, $15.00 per case} full thousand lots, $ 40.00 per 1000 



7- 9 inch bulbs, 200 to the case, 16.00 per case; full thousand lots, 75.00 per 1000 

 9-11 inch bulbs, 100 to the case, 18.00 per case; full thousand lots, 175.00 per 1000

 BOflt critical buyers. Plants have been grown in pots and are thoroughly weu established and nicely fin i shed.

Nils S. Pierson and Louis D. Pierce 

 have been elected trustees of the Nor- 

 wood volunteer fire company. 



Michael O'Connor, employed by 

 Thomas Galvin at Newport, had a nar- 

 row escape a few days ago. He fell 

 into a well twenty-four feet deep, 

 which contained more than enough 

 water to drown a man. He was draw- 

 ing water, when his foot slipped, and 

 as he went down his head hit against 

 the stones on the side of the well, so 

 that he was partly stunned when he 

 struck the water. Other workmen saw 

 him disappear and one of the men went 

 down in the bucket and brought 

 O'Connor up. W. H, M,
