The Florists' Review 



Januaey 4, 1917. 



LILY BULBS 



OUR MOTTO: «<Your doUar's value.' 



Those who know will grow Reburn & 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 

 Multiflorum 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 Qladioli in Classified Department.
