Harrisii (Bermuda Easier Lily). This magnificent Lily is undoubtedly the best for winter forcing, as it comes quickly into bloom. The flowers are trumpet- shaped, pure white, gracefully formed and delightfully fragrant. The bulbs should be potted in early fall in rich soil, and the pots plunged in sand, where they should be allowed to remain until the approach of cold weather. The freedom with which the flowers are produced is truly remarkable; even the smallest bulbs blooming freely. Each. Per doz. Per loo.
