LILIUN HARRISII 



(THE BERMUDA EASTER LILY) 

 LET US SUPPLY YOUR WANTS IN LILIES THIS SEASON 



"Wt think we can make it to your advantage to do so» as ttz»x6» 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, 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, lea^ng it in a high state of cultivation, and when the lily bidbs 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 matured. When Harrisii is good it leaves little to be desired. There is very little, if any, sto^ obtain- 

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

 of we shall 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 stodk gathered from indiscriminate sources. We are sure buyers '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 Bermuda, and that we have exceptional facilities for 

 obtaining our present supplies. Also take note that the smallest bulbs 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

Zealand in 1910 were the United King- 

 dom, from which 8,776 hundredweight 

 were imported; Germany, 5,457 hun- 

 dredweight; Canada, 2,600; United 

 States, 2,325; and New South Wales, 1,- 

 935. The total imports in 1910 of grass 

 and clover seeds amounted to 21,840 

 hundredweight, and the total value of 

 all kinds of seeds imported was $487,- 

 190. During the preceding year the 

 total imports were valued at $604,526'. 

 The value of the imports of seeds from 

 the United States in 1910 was $30,956. 

 ' * New Zealand takes from the United 

 States, in about the order named, cow 

 grass and red clover, white clover^ tim- 

 othy, Poa pratensis and alsike. Some 

 lucerne is imported from the United 

 States and also from England and 

 Australia. Its particular advantages 

 are just beginning to be appreciated in 

 New Zealand, and imports are likely to 

 increase. ' ' 



DANISH SEED CBOFS. 



It has been understood that Den- 

 mark has the best seed crops in Eu- 

 rope this year, but reports now com- 

 ing to hand from that country are less 

 bright, nor do the growers of cabbage 

 seed see anything in prospect for 1912 

 but a small acreage and high prices. 

 Writing under date of September 25 

 Hjalmar Hartmann & Co. say: 



' ' Denmark has to meet a large de- 

 mand for cabbage heads this year, as 

 German customers pay 2 cents per 

 pound for the same, or 10 cents per 

 head. To produce one pound of seeds 

 requires ten heads on the average. Con- 

 sequently the stock for growing seeds 

 for the 1912 crop figures at about $1
