Harrisii (Bermuda Easier Lily). This magnificent Lily is 

 undoubtedly the best for winter forcing, as it comes quickly 

 into bloom and produces flowers in the greatest abundance. 

 The flowers are trumpet-shaped, pure white, gracefullv 

 formed and delightfully fragrant, and if 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 

 remarkable ; even the smallest bulbs blooming freely.
