Lilium Harrisii, or True Bermuda 

 Easter Lily 



Owing to a continued drought in Bermuda, lasting 

 from March till "digging time," the crop of Harrisii 

 (true) shows a shortage of over 50 percent in the sizes 

 7 to 9 and upward. \V'e had the opportunity to buy 

 hybrids at a cheaper rate, but promptly turned it down. 

 At this date we hope to fill our advance orders, but 

 will have practically no surpluses of our Quality Brand 

 True Harrisii, e.vcept in sizes 5 to 7 and 6 to 7. This 

 also applies to Zj/<M/«ya;//eiu. Each Doz 100

JAPANESE EASTER LILIES 



The Lilium longijioriim, or Japanese Easter Lily, is, in reality, the parent of 

 the Lilium Harrisii. or Bermuda Easter Lily, and is grown more extensively than 

 this varietj' by the florists, owing to the shortage of the larger sizes of L. Harrisii 

 this season. We recommend and suggest to intending purchasers that, where the 

 large bulbs are desired, they buy the L. longiflorum, of w'hich we offer three 

 varieties, as follows: 



Lilium Longiflorum Formosum (Japan-grown)

 and free from disease. Each Doz. 100
