J. M. THQRBURN ^ CO. S CATALOGUE OF BULBS 



Lilium Harrisii 



Lilies 



For stateliness of habit, beauty of form and variety of coloring, the Lily is without a rival among bulbous 

 plants. Many of the species are delightfully fragrant. Though they may nearly all be called hardy, it is well to 

 protect them against frost in winter by a covering of ashes or litter. They are easily grown and require little care. 

 With the exception of L. candidum and L. tigriniim, which prefer a deep, rich loam, they all do best in a light, 

 well-drained soil. Some peat or leaf-mold may be used to advantage. L. auratum cannot bear manure but thrives 

 in ordinary light soil. They all prefer a partial shade, and the taller sorts must have protection from high winds. 

 Many of the stronger-growing kinds are well adapted for planting among shrubs. Most of them make splendid 

 conservatory plants. For pot culture, a compost of loam and peat in equal parts, with the addition of some sand, 

 is recommended. 



Lilium Harrisii and Lilium candidum ready in August; others not until November. 



Lilium Harrisii {Bermuda Easter Lily) BULBS NOW READY 



The Bermuda Easter Lily is perhaps the finest and most popular of winter-blooming plants. The large, hand- 

 some, pure white, trumpet-shaped flowers are very sweet-scented and of great substance, lasting a long time after 

 cutting. Its stately and graceful habit renders it a perfect pot-plant for table or window decoration. It gets its 

 popular name from the fact that it is so largely used for church decoration at Easter. It is easily grown and can 

 be forced into flower in a remarkably short time. It requires rich soil but without manure. It is also well adapted 

 to garden culture, but in this latitude the bulbs should have a good covering of ashes or litter to protect them 

 over winter.
