Easter Lily, 
LILIUM HARRISIL 
LS 
HIS peerless Lily is the greatest 
acquisition to floricuiture made 
inmany years, Their profusion 
of bloom, the remarkably short 
time required to bring them into flow- 
er, and the certainty to produce abun- 
dant bloom and also the ease with 
which they can be manipulated to be 
flowered at any desired period, such 
as Christmas, Easter and other special 
occasions, render them invaluable. 
The flowers are delightfully fragrant, 
pure waxy-white. of great substance, 
and if cut as soon as they are open, or 
partially open, they can be kept for 
two weeks. Bulbs potted in August 
can be had in flower in November if 
desired. The quantity of bloom pro- 
duced is marvelous, the average pro- 
duction of bulbs five to seven inches 
in circumference,even when forced, 
is from five to eight flowers, and of 
bulbs seven to nine inches, eight to 
twelve flowers. Blooming plants in 
pots form typical Easter offerings and 
presents, for decoration of the win- 
dow,table,house or church. Nothing 
is more appropriately beautiful and 
highly appreciated. Thousands upon 
thousands are sold in the large cities 
every Winter for this purpose. Asa 
garden lily itis of great beauty, being 
entirely hardy excepting in northern 
climates, where it requires a protec- 
tion of leaves or litter to the depth of five or six 
inches, Price,15 cents each; four for 50 cents; ten 
for $1.00. Extra large bulbs, 25 cents each.

LILY OF 55050 
THE VALLEY, 
HE LILY OF THE VALLEY is one of the 
most useful and greatly admired plants grown, 
The modest bell-shaped flowers of purest white 
are highly prized for cutting purposes, and for 
flowering ini pots in the Winter they are exceedingly 
well adapted. Beautiful and most interesting orna- 
mental designs for the parlor or conservatory may 
be produced by planting the Lily Crowns in Crocus 
pots or in pyramidal pots made specially for this 
purpose, and pierced with holes. They will last 
several weeks in beauty. By taking them in at 
intervals a succession of different designs may be 
kept up all Winter. They are also forced in immense = i 
quantities by florists, but they are the most charming LILY OF THE 
when grown in large patches, in partially shaded VALLEY 
localities around the lawn, near the borders of ' 
streams, lakes, etc., being perfectly hardy. See cut. 
Price, 3 cents each; 30 cents per dozen.
