LILIUM FORMOSUM 



that are imported in boxes marked with the Horseshoe Brand are superior to anything 

 in the lily line for winter flowering. Size 9/ 1 o from last season's crop are pi educing from 

 eight to eighteen flowers per bulb. The price of this quality is $20.00 per case of -.^oo 

 bulbs, and it is the best investment any florist can make in lily bulbs to-day. The order 

 should be placed now, because the crop promises to be short of demand this year.

A WARNING 



Under the new Plant Quarantine law the importation of Azaleas. Palms, Etc., is more difficult 

 than ever before. Certain conditions must be complied with before the plants can enter this 

 country. Are you sure the man you buy fiom knows this? Can he and will he comply with 

 the new law? Furthermoi-e, the importer must have a permit from Washington to im- 

 port such plants. Have you such a permit? If you don't wish to run the risk and bother with 

 ■all this, you can buy from us, or other reliable American houses. Horseshoe Brand Azaleas 

 come from Petrick's, the most reliable Azalea firm in existence. Prices are reasonable for 

 good plants — sent upon application. Order early.
