LILIUM 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, 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 sdected grow- 

 ers whose stocks have been worked up h-om 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, and 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 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 sdected 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, 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 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 Haurisii 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. 



^ 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; hdl 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 thoroughly well established and nicely finished. 



Nephrolepis Bostoniensis and Piersoni, 6-inch pots 



Nephrolepis Elegantissima, Piersoni, Bostoniensis and Harrisii, heavy 8-inch plants 

 Nephrolepis Elegantissima, Bostoniensis and Harrisii, heavy 10-inch plants

them are more stringent than others, as 

 they prohibit the sale of seeds contain- 

 ing certain weed seeds which in that 

 particular state are considered noxious. 



For instance, in North Dakota quack 

 grass and Canada thistle are termed 

 noxious seeds; in West Virginia dodder 

 is termed a noxious seed; in North Caro- 

 lina cheat (or chess) is also termed a 

 noxious seed, and there are no doubt 

 other states where similar laws are 

 enacted. 



The intent of any such legislation — 

 if it were possible — is all right, but who 

 can control Dame Nature, that produces 

 both pure and noxious seeds? We do 

 not think there is today a pure seed law 

 on the statute books that would be up- 

 held before any Supreme Court, and, 

 further, don 't think it possible to have 

 any seed legislation, unless it be along 

 the lines of adulteration or misbranding 

 of seeds.

The annals of the seed trade in Ger- 

 many do not contain record of so unfa- 

 vorable a season as the one just passed, 

 nor have the seed growers ever been so 

 put to it to fill orders as they now are. 

 The extreme heat and long continued 

 drought, extending through July, Au- 

 gust and September, greatly reduced 

 yields throughout the list and it is im- 

 possible to form any conception of the 

 situation by the quotation of prices, 

 for in many lines there are no seeds for 

 sale at any price. 



At Quedlinburg it is said that spin- 

 ach, radish and lettuce have given the
