Each 
forces into flower earlier than 
giganteum, it usually also 
grows much taller. It is not 
generally known that it is also 
excellent for outdoor culture, 
flowering in the vicinity of 
Boston about July 10. Plant 
8—10 inches deep and you need 
have no fear of winter killing.

Longiflorum Giganteum. This the 
popular lily for Easter forcing, 
is also a grand variety out¬ 
doors in New England. Plant 
in November 8—10 inches 
deep. Flowers produced in the 
open are very much larger 
than under glass and quanti¬ 
ties of large bulblets will be 
found on the stems at digging 
time, some of these will flower 
the next season. Proves per¬ 
fectly hardy. 
Extra large bulbs.50 
Longiflorum Harrisi. The ear¬ 
liest flowering of the longi¬ 
florum varieties under glass 
this variety has with us flow¬ 
ered latest outdoors, nor has 
it grown so tall as either 
giganteum or formosum. Bulbs 
of this lily are ready early in 
August. We find this Lily per¬ 
fectly hardy but outdoor plant¬ 
ing should be delayed until 
late October. 
Extra fine 9—11 inch bulbs.. .50 
Longiflorum Erabu. A fine va¬ 
riety from the island of Erabu, 
now much grown for Easter 
flowering succeeding in a 
cooler temperature than gigan¬ 
teum, proves perfectly hardy in 
New England, blooming in
