THE TRUE 



Bermuda Easter Lily. 



(LILIUM HARRISII.) 

 The Grandest Winter- Flowering Plant in Cultivation. 



Is of the Eas.est 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- 

 ration 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.
