Calla Lily-Yeliow Elliotiana 
Bermuda Easter Lilies Lilinm Longiflorum Harristi 
The short time required to bring this peerless Lily into flower renders it in- 
valuable. The flowers are delightfully fragrant pure waxy-white, and if cut when 
partially open can be kept for two weeks. Bulbs potted in September can be 
had in flower in December, if desired. 
A succession of bloom can be kept up throughout the winter by bringingina few 
pots of bulbs from cold frames at intervals. Blooming plants in pots are suitable 
for Easter offerings and presents. 
Bulbs Ready for Shipment—August to December. 
Extra Size Bulbs. (7 to 9 inches in circumference.) This is the most popular 
size to grow as pot plants for decoration and equally as valuable for cutting. 
Bulbs should produce from 8 to 12 flowers. 35c each; $3.50 doz.; $25.00 per 100. 
Monstrous Size Bulbs. (9 fo 11 inches in circumference.) These are usually 
grown for specimens in pots for exhibitions and decorations. Each bulb should 
produce from 12 to 18 flowers. 60c each; $6.00 per doz.; $45.00 per 100. 
The Formosa Easter Lily. (Lilium Longiflorum Formosum). This is an im- 
proved type of the well known L. longiflorum also known as the ‘Easter or 
St. Joseph’s Lily.’’ The plants are of healthy strong growth—about 3 feet 
high and produce beautiful snow white trumpet shaped flowers, 6 to 8 inches 
long. This lily is largely grown by florists who ‘‘force’’ them as pot plants 
and for cut flowers. It is not quite as early as Lilium Harrisii. For Shipment, 
September to December. 
Extra Size Bulbs. 9to10inches. 45c each; $4.50 doz.; $35.00 per 100. 
Japan Easter Lily. (Lilium Longiflorum Giganteum.) This Japanese type is 
highly thought of for late winter and Easter forcing—though the bulbs of this 
variety are often carried over in cold storage to be brought into bloom at any 
desired time the succeeding year. The plant is of sturdy stocky growth—with 
black marked stems. The flowers of purest white are the largest of the longi- 
florums. For Shipment October to December. 
Extra Size Bulbs, 9 to 10 inch, 40c each; $4.00 doz.; $30.00 per 100.

house or window plants. To aid profuse blooming keep dormant from the middle 
of June until the last of September; pot in good, rich soil, using 6 to 8-inch pot, 
give light and heat in abundance. Both foliage and flowers are attractive in this 
desirable winter bloomer.

well known to require any description. We offer dry roots, as they are superior 
for forcing and winter-flowering purposes; they come into bloom quickly and 
require less room making less foliage. Extra large bulbs, 40c each; $4.00 per 
doz.; $30.00 per 100.

Spring Flowering Crocus thon Vancties 
As edgings to beds—and bordering walks—or as undergrowth among tulips* 
hyacinths, daffodils, etc., they are very effective as the flowers are over when 
the other bulbs begin blooming. 
Crocus are also easily flowered in the house in winter, grown in pots and pans 
of soil. For instructions see leaflet ‘‘How to Grow Bulbs’’ sent with every order. 
We have discontinued offering the cheap mixtures of Crocus as the larger 
bulbs produce more and larger flowers. (See illustration.)
