PETER PENDERSON & CO'S WHOLESALE LIST OP BULBS AND ROOTS. 



THE BERMUDA LILY. 



LILIUM HARRISII. 



{The Jiermuda Mister Lily.) 



The most important addition to our 

 list of Lilies made in many years — 

 being particularly valuable for forc- 

 ing ! The flowers are large, trumpet / 

 shaped, pure waxy white, symmetrical, 

 chaste and beautiful, resembling the 

 well-known L. longiflorum. Its great 

 value lies in its profusion of bloom, 

 being almost incredibly free flowering. 

 Flowers have been produced from sin- 

 gle scales, within a year from plant- 

 ing, while bulbs the size of a hickory-nut send up 

 vigorous stems, flowering freely. First size bulbs pro- 

 duce at least six, and extra size bulbs twelve blooms, 

 (often more.) A single stem has produced seventy 

 perfect flowers here ; which was eclipsed by a plant in 

 its native Island, bearing 145 blossoms on a single 

 stem ; these of course are exceptions. 



In addition to its remarkable blooming qualities, it 

 will, under proper treatment, throw up a second stem, 

 giving another smaller crop of lilies; and an addi- 

 tional superiority consists in its earliness, being three 

 or four weeks earlier than any other lily grown for 

 forcing, when planted and grown together under same, 

 conditions. We have thoroughly tried this lily and 

 know it to be one of the most profitable for forcing 

 that can be grown. We have a large stock of bulbs, 

 in splendid condition, which we can commence to ship 

 by the middle of July, thereby enabling flowers to be 

 brought in by Christmas or earlier. 



Price, first size bulbs, $12.00 per 100.
