SPECIAL IMPORT OFFER OF FLOWER BULBS UNTIL JULY 15TH 



EASTER LILIES, ETC. (For Indoor Culture) 



Bermuda Easter Lilies 



Lilium Longiflorum Harrisii 



The short time required to bring this peerless Lily into 

 flower renders it invaluable. The flowers are delightfully fragrant 

 pure waxy-white, and if cut when partially open, 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 are suitable for Easter offerings and 

 presents. We offer three types of the Longiflorum Lily usually 

 grown by the florist. Of the three types we recommend Lilium 

 formosum as the best for private conservatory growing. 



Bulbs Ready for Shipment — August to December. (,See engraving.) 

 Extra Size Bulbs. (7 to 9 inches in circumference.) This is the 

 most popular size to grow as pot plants for decoration and 

 equally as valuable for cutting. Bulbs should produce from 8 

 to 12 flowers. 35c. ea. ; $3.50 doz,; S27.50 per 100. 

 Monstrous Size Bulbs. (9 to II inches in circumference.) These 

 are usually grown for specimens in pots, for exhibitions and 

 decorations. Each bulb should produce from 12 to 18 flowers. 

 65c. ea. ; $6.50 per doz.; 850.00 per 100. 



The Formosa Easter Lily 



Lilium Longiflorum Formosum 



This is an improved type of the well known L. longiflorum 

 also known as the "Easter or St. Joseph's Lily." The plants are 

 of healthy strong growth— about 3 feet high and produce beauti- 

 ful snow white trumpet shaped flowers. 6 to 8 inches long. This 

 lily is largely grown by florists who "force" them as pot plants 

 and for cut flowers. It is not quite as early as Lilium Harrisii. 

 For Shipment, September to December, 



Extra Size Bulbs. 8 to 10 inches. 40c. ea. : $4.00 doz.; $30.00 

 per 100. 



Japan Easter Lily 



Lilium Longiflorum Giganteum 

 This Japanese type 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. The flowers of purest white are the 

 largest of the longiflorums. For Shipment, October to December, 

 Extra Size Bulbs. 8 to 10 inch. 40c. ea. ; $4.00 doz. ; $30.00 per 

 100.
