Easter Lilies 
Popular throughout the world, loved and admired by everyone. We offer 
three varieties that are ideal for indoor growing —Harrisii, Longiflorum 
giganteum, and Erabu. Use a 5- or 6-in. pot; place bulb loosely in rich, 
porous soil so that it is barely covered and the soil gently but firmly set. 
Keep in a cool, dark but airy place, free from frost, until bulbs are well- 
rooted; afterward bring to the light and grow on in a temperature of not 
more than 60°. Ideal garden subjects in frost-free locations. 
8614 Erabu 
{Japanese Easter Lily) 
An improved type of the 
well-known Lilium Formo- 
sum, with uniform dark col¬ 
ored stems. Often called 
“Black-stemmed Formo- 
sum.” Plants are of 
healthy, strong growth, 
about 3 ft. high, and bear 
their magnificent flowers in 
whorls at the top of the 
strong stems. Flowers are 
large, trumpet-shaped, 6 to 
8 in. long, pure waxy white 
and sometimes tinged with 
green near the base; the an¬ 
thers are yellow, which adds 
to the beauty of the blooms. 
Erabu Lily is largely grown 
for Easter forcing, having 
practically replaced the old 
Formosum. They are de¬ 
lightfully fragrant and if cut 
when partially open, can be 
kept for two weeks. Gets its 
name because nearly all of 
the bulbs are grown in the 
Erabu Isles, Ready for de¬ 
livery in October.
