FORCING LILIES 



Bermuda Easter Lily LiUum Longiflomm Hanisit 



The short time required to bring this peerless Lily into flower renders 

 it invaluable. 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. 

 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. 

 3.-C each; S3. 50 doz.; S25.00 per 100. 



Monstrous Size Bulbs. (9 ;o 1 1 inches in circumference.) These are 

 usually grown for specimens in plots for exhibitions and decorations. 

 Each bulb should produce from 12 to 18 flowers. 50c each; §5.00 

 per doz.; $37.50 per 100. 

 The Formosa Easter Lily. (Liliutn Longiflorum Formosum.) This is 

 an improved 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 earlv as Lilium Harrisii. For shipment, September to December. 

 Extra Size Bulbs. 9 to 10 inches. 35c each; S3. 50 doz.; S25.00 per 

 100. 

 Japan Easter Lily. (Lilium Longiflorum Giganteiim.) 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 longiflorums. For 



shipment. October to December. 



Extra Size Bulbs. 9 to 10 inches, 40c each; S4.00 doz.; S30.00 per 



100. Six Bulbs of a Variety Sold at the Dozen Rate, 25 at the 



Hundred Rate. 



New Large Flowering Japanese Iris (his Kaempferi) 



The magnificence of these new irises surpasses description. The flowers are of enormous size, averaging 6 to 8 inches across, and ot indescribable 

 and charming hues and colors, varying like watered silk in the sunlight, the prevailing colors being white, crimson, rose, lilac, lavender, violet and blue; 

 each flower usually representing several shades, while a golden-yellow blotch surrounded by a halo of blue or violet, at the base of the petals, intensifies 

 the wealth of coloring. The Japan Iris besides being very free flowering is perfectly hardy and grows readily in almost any situation, either sunny or 

 partially shady; but the soil should be moist and the plants well supplied with water when flowering. They bloom in great profusion in June and 

 throughout July, coming into bloom when other Irises are faded and gone. Ready September 15 to November 15. {See illustration.)
