 known and most popular of garden Lilies. The flowers are

 often exceed in number 25 to each bulb. It is also a valuable 

 variety for forcing, being largely used by the florists for this

 creamy-white, with a purple throat; blooms in the summer. 

 Immense bulbs. $1.25 each. 



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, gracefully 

 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 will bloom. For out- 

 door 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.
