The Rorists' Review 



ANY DEAD FISH 



can swim down stream, but it takes 

 a live one to swim up. Ambition is 

 dead stock, without the energy to 

 PUSH it. 



It 's dead easy to tell the other fellow 

 what to do, but it takes grit to do it 

 yourself. "Well, last week I called in 

 twelve towns in six days, booked twen- 

 ty-six orders, slept in six different beds 

 and Gosh Ding it, I am tired, but I 

 can't stop; if I do, I'll swim down. 



I have asked one man twice a year 

 to grow 50 lily bulbs a few times a 

 year to get a start; he tells me each 

 time, he's thinking about it; he is 

 over 52 years old now and if he doesn 't 

 put a push on himself, he'll be growing 

 lilies for the Angels, by Heck. He 

 loses, not I. But if he availed himself 

 of my cheap but valuable advice, he 

 would be up to the thousand mark by 

 this time. 



Many Florists cannot start out on a 

 large scale, but each must get a start 

 some way. 



Try a case of 150 bulbs, 50 each, 

 Album, Auratum and Rubrum, Plant 

 them RIGHT NOW, in March, have 

 them in bloom in July and August, 

 when good flowers are scarce. They 

 are simply great for funeral work, and 

 the bulbs give an enormous production. 



Album, beautiful white and graceful 

 flower. 



Auratum, large white bloom, gold 

 banded. 



Bubrum, beautiful red and white 

 spotted flower. 



150 fine, large bulbs, $12.50 a case.

BAMBOO CANES 



Tall plants ought to be staked. 

 Blaster Lilies especially should be 

 supported by a neat green bam- 

 boo cane. It prevents injury to 

 the plant and adds to the appear- 

 ance. A 33^-foot green bamboo 

 cane costs a trifle over half a 

 cent, and adds considerable to the 

 value of a plant tied with it. If 

 you want your plants to have a 

 nice appearance, use green bam- 

 boo canes. Immediate deliveries 

 at the following prices:

It is well to always have canes on 

 hand— they keep a long while and 

 are always useful. Order them 

 now and have them ready.
