Elliott's fifty-third annual edition of Elliott's fifty-third annual edition of fall bulbs elliottsfiftythi1898wmel Year: 1898 Wm. Elliott & Sons, 54 and 56 Dey Street, New York. â ^ LILIES^ Lilium Harrisil. (Bermuda Easter L,ily.) This beautiful Lily has become immensely popular on account of its free-blooming qualities; many thou- sands are now yearly forced for the New York market, where it has met with great favor. It is larger in size than the old Longiflorum, flowers pure white, richly fragrant and of good substance. For early forcing the bulbs should be started in September; these may be had in flower by the Christmas Holidays, and by succes- sive plantings, up to December, they may be had in flower until spring. Our stock of this Lily is of unsurpassed qualitj'. The bulbs are sound, well cured and of good form; not cracked or misshapen. There are numerous offerings of Lilium Harrisii on the market, which, to say the least, cannot be vouched for as reliable, as they are picked up here and there among small growers, and in many instances are mixed and of general poor quality. Our entire stock was grown and packed under the personal supervision of our agent in Bermuda, and is uniformly first class. ⢠. ⢠. r tvlv'tw^ ⢠⢠⢠⢠FIRST SIZE BULBS.â(5 to 7 in. in circumference). 10c. each; 85c. per doz.; $ per 100.
