WHAT FLOWER CAN COMPARE WITH THE STATELY LILY? 



The True Bermuda Easter Lily 



(LILIUM HARRISII) 



This is one of the grandest and most 

 beautiful lilies ever seen, and the best of 

 all for Winter flowering in pots; it grows 

 easily and is sure to bloom. The flowers 

 are pure snow-white, very large and fra- 

 grant, and borne in splendid clusters, six or 

 eight at a time. Vast numbers of these 

 splendid lilies are grown for church and 

 house decorations every year. Plant in a pot 

 or box which is at least six inches deep and 

 well drained ; good turfy soil with a little 

 old, well-rotted manure is best; the bulb 

 should be covered about one inch deep ; 

 firm the earth well around it, water 

 thoroughly and set away in a cool place 

 three weeks or more till the roots begin to 

 start, then bring to the light — the window 

 of an ordinary living room is about right. 

 They require moderate heat, with plenty of 

 sunshine and water, and should bloom 

 about three months from time of planting. 

 Our Easter Lily Bulbs are of the very best 

 quality and warranted to give satisfaction. 

 We offer them in 3 sizes. Ready in August.

 the season of bloom. It is beautiful snow-white and fragrant, and 

 because of its great substance, size and lasting qualities is excellent 

 for Easter decorations. Bulbs ready for delivery in October.

NEW PHILIPPINE LILY

A charming new lily from the Philippine Islands, throws up strong 

 flower stalks 12 to 15 inches high, bearing beautiful large snow-white 

 lilies, delightfully fragrant, has proved hardy here and claimed to

NOTE— In Fall Planting, or when done flowering in the house, these 

 lilies should be set four to five inches deep in the open ground, where they 

 can remain, as they are entirely hardy if planted deep and given a light 

 covering of leaves or garden litter before hard freezing.
