The Florists' Review

RAINBOW

FREESIAS 



Rainbow Freesias are great money-makers 

 for all florists, whether they grow for their 

 own retail trade or for the wholesale mar- 

 ket. Moreover, the habit of plant is 

 branching, each bulb giving two to three 

 flower spikes with stems long enough for 

 all floral purposes. 



The mixture offered includes several shades of yellow,' orange, lavender and pink, all harmonizing with 

 each other when bunched together. , . .

BEAN MEN IN FIGHTING MOOD. 



The bean growers of Michigan — and 

 their output is said to represent not far 

 from seventy per cent of the American 

 bean supply and worth from $12,000,000 

 to $15,000,000 — have decided to lock 

 horns with "Uncle Sam's pure food ex- 

 perts in deciding in court whether an 

 "anthracnose" bean is unsuited for hu- 

 man food. 



The government authorities have 

 brought suit against the Oceana Can- 

 ning Co., of Shelby, Mich., for having
