LILIES 



The Lily is perliaps the most popular among all the bulbous plants, and 

 withal the most easily grown, either indoois or in the herbaceous or 

 shrubbery border. I have endeavored to assemble a collection of Lilies 

 that for usefulness and showiness of their flowers are unsurpassed. 



Lilies should be divided into two classes — those for indoor or winter 

 flowering, and those for outdoor or summer flowering. This is not to say 

 that the indoor varieties will not grow outside or vice versa ; but in the 

 following list I have endeavored to separate them. 



Lilium Harrisii, or True Bermuda Easter Lily 



This Lily is so well known that it is scarcely necessary to expatiate upon 

 its merits here. It is undoubtedly the best indoor winter-blooming Lily in 

 existence, and can be so easily handled that it may be had in bloom by a 

 succession of planting from early in December until Easter. I have this 

 year made arrangements with one of the, most reliable growers in Bermuda 

 to take his crop, and from past experience have full confidence in recom- 

 mending this stock most higlily, knowing that it contains a very much 

 smaller proportion of diseased bulbs than those usually sent to the New 

 York market. Bulbs ready for delivery in August. 



The prices of my " Quality " Lilium Harrisii are : 



Each Doz. 100 



5-7 inch Bulbs $0 10 $1 00 $6 50

■•QUALITY LILIUM HABKISII 



Lilium Longiflorum Giganteum (Japan-Grown) 



^ jThis dark-stemmed variety flowers somewhat later than Multifloruui, 

 but the flowers are of larger size, of great substance and perfect form ; in 

 great demand. Each noz 100 



6- 8 inch Bulbs SO 10 $0 75 $5 00 



7- 9 " " 15 1 50 10 00 



9-10 " " 20 2 00 15 00 



Lilium Longiflorum Multiflorum (Japan-Grown) 



This magnificent Lily is almost identical with L. Harrisii. The only 

 difference is that it flowers somewhat later and is, therefore, most useful for 

 a continuation of bloom. The flowers are large and of great substance, and 

 can be depended upon for Easter decorations. Bulbs ready for delivery in 

 October. Each Doz. 100

Cold Storage, or Retarded Lilies 



Having placed a large quantity of Lily bulbs in Cold Storage immedi- 

 ately upon their arrival in this country I am in a position to furnish 

 sound. Arm bulbs all the year round. Florists and gardeners all over 

 the country are now forcing Lilies in continual succession every month 

 in the year. Cold Storage bulbs usually flower in about 4 months from 

 time of planting, that is, bulbs potted in August will flower for Christmas .

Lilium Candidum (St. Joseph or Annunciation Lily) 



This is the old-fashioned garden Lily. It is perfectly hardy, blooming 

 in the open ground in June. The many snow-white flowers borne on a stem 

 3 to 4 feet high make this Lily most effective. Very large bulbs, ready for 

 delivery in September. 15e. each, $1.50 per doz., $8.00 per 100.
