These are the cream of the Bermuda Lily crop, being a selection of 
bulbs from the most uniform plants. Our Harrisi Iast season gave the 
best of results, and our growers assure us the same quality for this

Special Notice Regarding Delivery 
Most of the varieties listed below will arrive in time for fall planting, 
but it often happens that some of the varieties reach us too late. These 
orders will be held for early spring delivery. When ordering please 
specify if you desire fall or spring delivery. 
It is advisable to prepare your Lily-bed in the early autumn and 
cover with 3 to 4 inches of litter, which will prevent freezing and will 
permit safe planting of the late arrivals.

AUTUMN-FLOWERING TYPE 
This is an ideal Lily for growing under glass or in the garden or 
nursery. It blooms profusely and its very fragrant, pure white flowers 
resemble an Easter Lily. The outside of the bloom, when first opening, is 
slightly colored with reddish brown; this coloration fades as the flower 
matures. Doz. 100 1000

thick-petaled flowers.
