LII.IUM 



HARRISI. 



(Bermuda Easter 

 Lily.) 



This beautiful Lily was in- 

 troduced a few years ago from 

 Bermuda. The flowers are 

 large, trumpet shaped, pure 

 waxy white, and of most sym- 

 metrical form. (See cut.) The 

 fragrance is delightful. This 

 Lily has the valuable peculi- 

 arity of flowering two or three 

 times in succession without 

 rest, so it might really be 

 termed an "Ever-blooming 

 Lily." It frequently produces 

 30 flowers on a single plant. 

 Our bulbs are large and sound, 

 and are sure to bloom freely. 

 Some idea of the great popu- 

 larity of the Easter Lily may 

 be formed when we tell our 

 readers that our sales the past 

 season were upwards of two 

 hundred thoi^and bulbs. 

 Hardy with slight protection 

 in most places.
