Lilies for Growing and Forcing under Glass, in the 

 Greenhouse, Conservatory or Sunny \yindow 



Lilies should be potted immediately upon receipt, if intended for growing in pots or for forcing. The soil should be rich, the pot well 

 drained. The bulb should be set about half-way below the surface or rim of the pot and lightly covered with soil. After potting, give a thorough 

 watering and set outside in a coldframe or shady situation ; then cover with ashes or long straw. After they have stood from three weeks 

 to a month, bring into the house, allow plant to grow above pot 4 to 6 inches, then fill pot with soil to within i inch of top of pot, and force 

 gently. .After showing buds, a higher temperature may be used. 



Lilium Harrisii, or True Bermuda Easter Lily 



Mr. Boddington visited Bermuda at Easter, this spring, for the 

 express purpose of looking into the Lily situation, e.xamining the 

 growing fields of Lilies and securing the finest and cleanest stock on 

 the island. He was successful in doing this, so that we can with 

 confidence offer the bulbs quoted below. The examination of grow- 

 ing crops is in keeping with our policy to secure only the best, even 

 at an advanced price, and successfully to uphoUl the quality which 

 we aim to sell. Each Doz. ino

JAPANESE EASTER LILIES 



The Lilium lonsifloriiiii , or Japanese Easter Lily, is. 'in reality, 

 the parent of the Lilium Harrisii, or Bermuda Easter Lily, and is 

 grown more extensivelv than this variety by the Horists, 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. longijlortun, of which we 

 offer three varieties, as follows:
