The Florists' Review 



JULi 2T, 1918.

RAINBOW 



(many bright colors) 



FREESIAS 



Our crop of bulbs grown in California now 

 is ready for delivery, and the bulbs are of 

 exceptional quality, ranging in size from 

 Yi to %-inch. The mixture offered includes 

 several shades of yellow, orange, lavender 

 and pink, all harmonizing with each other 

 when bunched together. 



Rainbow Freesias are great money-makers 

 for all florists, whether they grow for their 

 own retail trade Or for the wholesale market. Splendid sellers at top prices. Moreover, the habit of plant 

 is branching, each bulb giving two to three' flower spikes with stems long enough for all floral purposes. 



$5.00 per 100; $40.00 per 1000; $187.50 for 5000. 



(Note.— Because of the branching habit, Rainbow freesia will give twice 

 to three times as many flowers per bulb as will Purity or refracta alba.) 



Every jobber and catalogue house that has a trade calling for high-class novelties should write at once for 

 terms on Rainbow. Freesia bulb growers write for prices on planting stock (bulblets).

BEEMX7DA ONION SEED. 



In view of recent correspondence 

 and crop reports in The Eeview, the 

 trade will be specially interested in a 

 letter, written June 10, to the Depart- 

 ment of Commerce by George K. Stiles, 

 consul at Teneriffe, Canary Islands: 



"Onion seed constituted one-fourth 

 of all exports to the United States from 

 the Teneriffe district in 1915. The 

 coming crop, which should begin to 

 move next month, shows a decided in- 

 crease in the amount of choice, expen- 

 sive wax (or white) seed. The ordi- 

 nary canary-yellow, onion seed, how- 

 ever, has suffered because of the winter 

 drought and shows a loss estimated at 

 forty to fifty per cent. The red seed, 

 which is in less demand, also suffered 

 from drought, but to a smaller degree 

 than the yellow. 



"Yellow seed will consequently be 

 scarce, and there may be difficulty in 

 filling contracts for this grade, while
