We wish to lay particular stress upon 

 the size and quality of our Bulbs which are 

 larger, healthier and better than these 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 constitu- 

 tionally weakens the bulbs and they give results 

 accordingly. This is the general practice — es- 

 pecially among those who endeavor to grow 

 cheaply — to enable them to undersell. 



The so-called Bermuda Lily disease is primar- 

 ily the result of reduced vitality caused by in- 

 sufficient plant food in the soil. While there is 

 no crop of bulbs on the island entirely free from 

 the disease, yet we have less of it in our helds 

 than any other grower. 



; "The Bermuda Easter Lily Bulbs I got from you, 

 j (P. H. & Co..) are grand. In fact, every person ivho 

 \ has seen them say they are the best ei'er seen in this 

 '. part of the country. They are practically free from 

 ; disease" LAWRENCE COTTER, Florist.

j "7 got 100 Harrisii Lily Bulbs from you last year 

 ! and qq of them bloomed all right, they were a nice lot." 



WILLIS E. HAMILTON. Florist, 



Belfast, Maine. 



u l have been growing your Harrisii bulbs for several 

 years. Last season I divided my order, placing one- 

 half with you and the other half with another promi- 

 nent seedsman. Yours were the true Bermuda Har- 

 risii, while the others were badly mixed with a worth- 

 less variety which grew to enormous height with a very j 

 small flower. Your half were alt of an even size with \ 

 flowers of excellent quality. I had the honor of hav- • 

 ing the finest lilies in Pittsburgh from your bulbs, j 

 There were but few of your plants diseased— probably j 

 jo in the whole batch of 6,000 bulbs. You will have my j 

 full order next season. 



WM. F. LA UCH, Florist, \ 

 Carrick, Pa. \ 







"/ do not hesitate to say that the lot of Harrisii I \ 

 bought from you this season are the best I received for \ 

 a number of years. They are the nicest looking plants • 

 that I have seen anywhere, and I am glad that it is so, [ 

 as this 7i<as the first time I got my Ilarrisiis from you j 

 and which will assure you of getting further orders. '
