Bermuda Easter Lily. 
(LILIUM HARRISII.) 
The Grandest Winter-Flowering Plant in Cultivation. 
Is of the Easiest Culture, Blooming in Wonderful Abundance. 
This peerless Lily is the greatest acquisition to floriculture made in many 
years. The remarkably short time required to bring it into flower, and the 
certainty to produce a profusion of bloom, and also the ease with which it 
can be made to flower at any desired period, such as Christmas, Easter and 
other special occasions, renders this lily invaluable. 
The flowers are delightfully fragrant, pure waxy-white, of great substance 
and if cut as soon as they are open, or partially open, they can be kept with 
stems in water, for two weeks. 
A short time only is required to bring it into bloom. Bulbs potted in August 
can be had in flower in November, if desired. 
A succession of bloom can be kept up from November to May by bringing 
in a few pots of bulbs from cold frames at intervals throughout the winter. 
The quantity of bloom produced is marvelous; the average production of 
bulbs 5 to 7 inches in circumference, even when forced, is from 4 to 6 flowers, 
and of bulbs 7 to 9 inches, 8 to 12 flowers. 
Blooming plants in pots form typical Easter offerings and presents for deco- 
tation of the window, table, house or church. Nothing is more appropriately 
beautiful and highly appreciated. Thousands upon thousands are sold in the 
large cities every winter for this purpose. 
As a garden Lily it is of great beauty, being entirely hardy, excepting in 
Northern climates, where it requires a protection of leaves or litter to the 
depth of 5 or 6 inches.
