HENDERSONS SUPERIOR LiLIDM HARRISII 



THE TRUE 



BERMUDA EASTER LILY 



(LILIUM LONGIFLORUM HARRISII) 



he Grandest Winter - Flowering Plant in Cultivation. Is of the Easiest 

 Culture, Blooming in Wonderful Abundance 



This peerless Lily is a great acquisition to floriculture. The short time re- 

 quired to bring it into flower, and the certainty to produce a profusion of bloom, 

 anil 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. 



A short time only is required to bring it into bloom. Bulbs potted in Sep- 

 temb:r 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. 



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.

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 excep- 

 tional substance. It is also a splendid garden lily — being perfectly hardy.
