Harrisii (Bermuda Easter Lily). Vhis magnificent Lily is undoubt- 
edly the best for winter forcing, as it comes quickly into bloom and pro- 
duces flowers in the greatest abundance. ‘The flowers are trumpet- 
shaped, pure white, gracefully formed and delightfully fragrant, andif cut 
when partly opened will last in perfection for 10 days or 2 weeks. The 
bulbs should be potted in early fall in rich soil, and the pots plunged in 
sand, where they should be allowed to remain until the approach of 
cold weather. ‘The aim should be to prevent the tops starting until the 
roots have become strong and vigorous, when they may be brought in 
and placed in gentle heat. It can be forced into bloom at any desired 
time, and the freedom with which the flowers are produced is truly re- 
markable; even the smallest bulbs will bloom. For outdoor planting 
it is very desirable, as it is hardy with slight protection, easy of culture, 
and one of the finest plants for garden or cemetery decoration.
