LILIUM HARRISII (Bermuda Easter Lily) 
Lilium Harrisii. 
(The Bermuda Easter Lily.) 
This magnificent Lily is undoubtedly the best for winter forcing, 
as it comes quickly into bloom. The flowers are trumpet-shaped, 
pure white, gracefully formed and delightfully fragrant. 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 freedom with which the flowers 
are produced is truly remarkable; even the smallest bulbs bloom- 
ing freely.

LILIUM CANDIDUM (Annunciation or Madonna Lily) 
Lilium Candidum. 
(Annunciation or Madonna Lily.) 
This is one of the most popular of garden Lilies. The flowers are 
pure snow-white and very fragrant, borne on long stems. To 
succeed with it, it should be planted early in the autumn, so that it 
can make some growth before frost; give the bulbs a light dusting 
with powdered sulphur, and do not cover with more than 2 inches 
of soil; 3to 4 feet; May-June. The bulbs we offer are grown spe- 
cially for us in the north of France and are much superior to those 
grown in the south of France having finer flowers of greater sub- 
stance and better in every way, especially for outdoor planting.

prefer a rather cool position and close to the light, which keeps them short and sturdy.
