LILIUM HARRISII 



(THE BERMUDA EASTER LILY) 

 LET US3UPPLY YOUR WANTS IN LILIES THIS SEASON 



. We think we can nuke it^to your advantage to do so, 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 haSSt been 'worked up trom the true, original stock. In order to insure the hmth of the product, the bulbs are not 

 grown on the same-^eld <^jtefler than oat season, other crops bdng grown on the field the preceding year. The ground is thor- 

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

 no fresh nunuine b used) thb prevents disease and insures a crop of strong, healthy bulbs. 



In addition to tliis, 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 znatiu'ed. When Harrisii is good it leaves little to be desired. There is \rerf littk, if any, stock obtain- 

 able as good as tfie stock tnat we are offering. We are supplying only this one grade of selected stodk and when this is di^>osed 

 of we shall have no more to offer. ^^^ 



Wfiile tfie quality of the stock tfuit we offer is of the highest, our prices are as low as, or lower than, the prices oHhose who 

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

 much more so tfian tlie Japan-grown Longiflorum, wliich has badly deteriorated in recent years. < 



Bear in mind that we were the ordinal introducers of Harrisii in Bomuda, and that we have exceptional ^ilities for 

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

 offered. .^^ 



6- 7 inch bulbs, 335 to the case, $15X0 per case; full thousand lots, % 40.00 per 1000 ZUL 



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