The Florists Review 



S6 



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 

 }4 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).

THE NUISANCE 



(Continued from last week) 



T^HE afternoon was cool and calm, 

 and I was quietly working on my 

 books, being the only one in the of- 

 fice where I was employed. Many 

 customers came in and out, and in 

 this way 1 met many hundred people. 

 The Nuisance, or the would-be man, 

 came into the office to order some 

 flower pots, I knew his name was on 

 the books for several years as "slow 

 pay," so I agreed to advise him by 

 mail if order could be filled. Well, 

 this was when he started after me— about 

 ten years ago. Goodness me I he called 

 personally five times in three days; he 

 camped on the hall steps for me while I 

 was at lunch. He finally told me he wished 

 I would accept an invitation to Coney Is- 

 land. He certamly did not look good to 

 me, and I said— "No, thank you ! " That 

 did not faze him in the least— he haunted 

 me like a nightmare, trailing
