THE TRUE 



BERMUDA EASTEK LILY. 



(LILIUM LONGIFLORUM HARRISII.) 



The short time required to bring this peerless Lily into flower, and the cer- 

 tainty 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 

 Northern climates, where it requires a protection of leaves or litter to the depth 

 of 5 or 6 inches.

"I would like to say that all bulbs from you have been perfectly satisfactory

 that he had grown.' " b. D. POTTER, Providence, R. I. 



THE FORMOSA EASTER LILY. 



(Lilium Longiflorum Formosum.) 

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

 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 GIGANTUM. 



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.
