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) 
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 re¬ 
placed 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. Usually ready in October.

Easter Lily 
C Lilium Harrisii ) 
Quick to come into bloom; 
may be forced for Christ¬ 
mas, but it is for Easter 
that it is so extensively 
planted. The plants grow 
about 3 ft. tall and produce 
5 to 12 or more large, 
trumpet-shaped, fragrant, 
waxy white blooms with 
contrasting yellow anthers. 
Generally ready for delivery

8612 Giant Easter Lily 
{Lilium'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. Usually ready for shipment in 
November. 30ef each; 3 for 850; 
12 for $2.75; 100 for $20.00. 
The bulbs offered on this and the pre¬ 
vious page are not hardy, so must be 
grown indoors except in frost-free loca¬ 
tions. With the exception of a few va¬ 
rieties of Lilies, all bulbs listed in this 
book are American grown.
