 LET US SUPPLY YOUR WANTS IN LILIES "fHIS SEASON 



We think we can make it to your advantage to do so, as r«|[ards 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 .io 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 btdbs 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 Hanisii 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 shall have no more to offer. 



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

 offer tfie ordinary stodc 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. ^-t i 



Bear in mind that we were the ' original introducers of Hatrisii in Bermuda, and that we have exceptional fadlltiarfor 

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