LILY BULBS 



OUR MOTTO: "Your dollar's value.' 



Those who know will grow Rebum & Co. lily bulbs, for they are fertilized (the truth without fear or favor), and 

 feeding the bulbs at growing stage positively produces the best results, maturing a healthy, sound bulb; three times 

 rogued and cultivated by the oldest and best experienced growers in Japan. GIGANTEUM of superb quality. 



MULTIFLORUM for early Easter, true Kiota type, as you knew 

 Multifloruin twelve to fifteen years ago. Easter, 1918, is March 31. 

 Try a few cases. Supply limited. 



FORMOSUM, black and green stem. The best Oshimo ev^r 

 produced. Write for prices on all sizes and quantities. 



Let us figure on your French and Dutch order for fall, 1917. Our connections are reliable. Read our motto. 

 Cold storage GIGANTEUM BULBS all the year. All sizes. Ask for prices. See offer of Gladioli in Classified Department.

and the following item is going the 



rounds: 



WashiiiKton, D. C. — The House Committee on 

 Post-oftices and Post Roads is expected to in- 

 clude in the bill providinK for the post-office 

 appropriations for the flscal year 1918, a pro- 

 vision under which catalogues will hereafter 

 take third-class rates, instead of being accorded 

 the privileges of the parcel post service. This 

 is thought to be legislation aimed directly at 

 the large mail order houses, but its adoption 

 will hit all classes of business using catalogues 

 to further their sales. 



The seed trade strenuously opposed 



the application of parcel post zone 



rates to its catalogues. Will it be 



"hit" by putting them back Where 



they were? 



VALLEY PIPS AERIVE. 



As the British government this year 

 has adopted special measures to enforce 

 its embargo on German-grown valley 

 pips, the British agents granting ex- 

 port permits only in cases where they 

 have actually seen the growing crop, 

 on non-German territory, the valley 

 pips arriving tliis year perforce are 

 either Danish or Holland-grown. Two 

 weeks ago a steamer from Copenhagen 

 brought a small shipment and last week 

 a Kotterdam boat discharged nearly 

 1,000 cases of the precious article. The 

 consignees of last week's arrival were: 



M. Van Wnveren & Sons. 278 cases. 

 M.TltiiH & Ware. 429 cases. 

 American K.xpress Co., 100 cases. 

 K. V. Lung, 51! cases. 

 Htrwig & Co., 48 cases. 



HOW ABOUT GIGANTEUM BULBS? 



The British government last summer 

 put an embargo on the shipment of 

 •Japanese lily bulbs to Great Britain, 

 subsequently modifying the prohibition 

 to the extent of admitting fifty per 

 cent of the quantity exported to Great 

 Britain in 1915. The result, according 

 to the best authorities in the United 

 States, was to cause an excess of from 

 1,500,000 to 2,000,000 giganteum bulbs 

 in addition to the quantity usually sold 

 in America to seek a market here. A 

 few years ago it was considered that a 

 fair crop of longiflorum bulbs in .Japan 

 was 18,000,000 to 20,000,000 bulbs, of 

 which America took nearly half, so that 

 an increase of 1,500,000 in the quantity 

 offered in this market this year would 

 represent an increase of about fifteen 

 per cent. But it is open to question if 

 there has been since last season an in- 

 crease of fifteen per cent in the con- 

 sumption of lily flowers. 



At the opening of the season every- 

 body was ready to buy bulbs; at least 

 the wholesale handlers were, for they 

 looked forward to a continuation of the 

 then active demand. But the strong de- 

 mand from forcers which marked the 

 opening of the season suddenly flat- 

 tened out after advance orders had
