Easter Lili 
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! 
JCeep in a cool, dark but airy place, free from frost, until bulbs are well! 
footed; 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 Formosum, with uniform dark 
colored stems. Often called “Black-stemmed Formosum.” 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 anthers 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 delightfully 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 delivery 
in October. 30^ each; 3 for 80^; 
12 for $2.75; 100 for $20.00. 
8612 Giant 
Easter Lily 
{Longiflorum giganteum) 
The flowers are of the purest white 
and the largest of all Easter Lilies. 
The plant is of sturdy, stocky growth 
and largely forced for Easter, but is 
just as valuable for later flowering. 
We handle the “Northern or Saitama 
grown” bulbs, as we consider them 
the best. They are ready for ship¬ 
ment in November.

12 for $2.75; 100 for $20.00.
