Harrisi!. Henderson's Superior Bermuda Easter Lily. 



We wish to lay particular stress upon the size and quality of our Bulbs 

 which are larger, healthier and better than those usually sold— for the 

 reason that no expense is spared in manuring and cultivating. Experience 

 having shown us that bulbs so treated are incomparably superior to 

 bulbs grown on impoverished and unfertilized land year after year, 

 which constitutionally weakens the bulbs and they give results accord- 

 ingly. This is the general practice— especially among those who endeavor 

 to grow cheaply— to enable them to undersell. 



First size bulbs, 5 to 7 inches in circumference 



Extra size bulbs, 7 to 9 " " 



Monstrous bulbs, 9 to 11 " "
