L. I1ARRISII. (The Bermuda Faster Lily.) 

 On our last pago of cover will be found 

 portrayed this, the most important addition 

 made to our list of Lilies in many years. 

 The flowers are large, trumpet-shaped, pure 

 white, and deliriously fragrant. Its great 

 and distinctive merit, however, consists in 

 its remarkable profusion of bloom, being in- 

 credibly free flowering. Flowers have been 

 produced from single scale3, within a year 

 from planting, while bulbs tho size of a 

 hickory-nut send up vigorous stems, flower- 

 ing freely. First size bulbs produce at 

 least six, and extra size bulbs twelve 

 blooms, and sometimes more. A single 

 stem has produced seventy perfect 

 flowers here, which was eclipsed by a plant 

 in its native island, bearing 145 blossoms 

 on a single stem. But these, of course, 

 are exceptional instances. Owing to its 

 exceptionally free flowering characteristics, 

 this new sort must take high rank 

 for forcing for cut flowers. In fact, its 

 valuoin this respect has already been discov- 

 ered by florists, who are growing it largely.
