The Florists' Review 



08 



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 

 j4 to X-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).
