BERMUDA EASTER LILY. 



(LILIUM LONGIFLORUM HARRISII. 



The short time required to bring this peerless Lily 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 for two weeks. 



Bulbs potted in September can be had in flower in December, if desired. 



A succession of bloom can be kept up throughout the winter by bringing in 

 a few pots of bulbs from cold frames at intervals. 



Blooming plants in pots form typical Easter offerings and presents for decora- 

 tion 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 North- 

 em climates, where it requires a protection of leaves or litter to the depth of 5 or 6 

 inches.

THE FORMOSA EASTER LILY. 



{Lilium Lotigiflorum Formosum.) 



This improved type of the well known L. longiflorum also known as the " Easter 

 or St. Joseph's Lily " comes from the Island of Formosa. The plants are of healthy 

 strong growth — about 3 feet high and produce beautiful snow white trumpet shaped 

 flowers 6 to 8 inches long. It is perfectly hardy and a splendid garden lily blooming 

 in the open in June and July. This lily is also a very important winter flowering 

 type, thousands of the bulbs being imported for Florists and others who " force " 

 them as pot plants and for cut flowers. It is not quite as early as Lilium Harrisii — 

 but for " bringing in " soon after Christmas it is well adapted.

LILIUM LONGIFLORUM GIGANTEUM. 



This Japanese type is the latest of all the longiflorum lilies to bloom but is highly 

 thought of for late winter and Easter forcing — though the bulbs of this variety 

 are often carried over in cold storage to be brought into bloom at any desired time 

 the succeeding year. The plant is of sturdy stocky growth — with black marked 

 stems and unusually free from disease. The flowers of purest white are the largest 

 of the longiflorums — of perfect form and exceptional substance. It is also a splendid 

 garden lily — being perfectly hardy.
