LILIUIV1 HARRISII 



(THE BERMUDA EASTER LILY) 

 LET US SUPPLY YOUR WANTS IN LILIES THIS SEASON 



'^e think we can make it to your advantage to do lo, as 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 Iiave been worked up from the true, original 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, zad when the lily bulbs are planted 

 no fresh manure is used; this prevents 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 are 

 thoroughly ripened and thatured. 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 stodk.and when this is disposed 

 of we ^all have no more to offer. 



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

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

 much more so than the Japan-grown Longiflorum, which has badly deteriorated in recent years. 



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

 obtaining our present supplies. Also take note that the smallest buU» that we offer are 6-7 inch btdbs, 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; fuU thousand lots, 175.00 per 1000 



FERNS 



We have an exceptionally nice lot of ferns in the following varieties- good, bushy, well-grown plants that will please the 

 most critical buyers. Plants have been grown in pots and are thorotighly weU established and nicely finished.

Nephrolepis Elegantissima, Piersoni, Bostoniensis and Harrisii, heavy 8-inch plants . $L00 to 1.50 each

As has been stated previously, the 

 harvest of first size bulbs has been mod- 

 erate this year. The size of the bulbs 

 was generally smaller than in other sea- 

 sons, especially in the earlier kinds. 

 From these, also, the scales were badly 

 split, so that only a part of the stock 

 eould be sold, for though the bulbs 

 from which the scale has been split 

 grow and flower as well as the others, 

 the exporters do not send them to their 

 customers. The only method of keep- 

 ing the scales of tulips quite sound is 

 to cut the leaves while they are still 

 green, and leave the bulbs, after this 

 operation, a week or a fortnight in the 

 earth. The quality of the bulbs is much 

 better than in many of the foregoing 

 years, and perhaps in consequence of 

 that a good demand and an active 

 trade were expected. 



In the first days of the season the 

 trade in tulips was slow and it seemed 

 this season would be like the others, 

 but afterwards the prices became 

 higher and higher, and now the trade 

 is as active as possible. The stock of 

 the Darwin tulips, and of all the May- 

 flowering kinds, has been nearly 

 cleared, and the stock of the best va- 

 rieties of the early tulips is becoming 

 rather short. The growers, that is, 

 those who do not export but only grow, 

 are content with this season. 



Of the May-flowering tulips, the Dar- 

 wins had the largest demand, and es- 

 pecially the trade varieties, as Clara 

 Butt, Margaret, White Queen, Pride of 

 Haarlem, Edmee, Isis, Zulu Faust, etc. 

 are already all sold ofif. The red and 

 scarlet kinds, and also the mauve, were 

 first sold off. The Eembrandt tulips, 

 though still rarer, were in demand this
