Kesolvea, Tbat tin- incre.ised rates on

 gress of our fl rist industry and the civi 1-

 thins in Parcels Post and not a make-be-

Lily Bulbs. 



We learii from relialsle sources that 

 the output of Formosa lily bulbs will 

 fall far short of the demand this year 

 and only those dealers who ordered 

 in excess of their actual require- 

 ments will be able to fill orders com- 

 plete. Giganteums will be in fairly 

 good supply but of varying quality. 

 Multiflorums away below standard 

 and unsatisfactory as a rule.
