The Freesia Bulbs the American Bulb Co. offers were raised by the flaest grower in California. Florists who 

 have grown our Freesia Bulbs have received large returns when they were shipped to the wholesale flower markets. In 

 every case we have received a duplicate order which was increased over the original order. Florists who have purchased 

 Bulbs from us agree that we handle the finest quality of well matured, ripened bulbs. 



We believe we are the largest handlers of high-grade PURITY FREESIA bulbs in America. Florists who have not 

 given us a trial will profit by sending us their first order. We know you will re-order from us every season, after enjoy- 

 ing your first successful season with our high-quality bulbs. By early planting they can easily be brought in bloom at 

 Christmas time and a continuous blooming season can be maintained by successive plantings. For growing on the side of 

 Carnations or to follow Chrysanthemums, we recommend smaller bulbs. To get good results they should be tied up like 

 Carnations. Do not overlook this fact, as it is important. 



Prices for well cured bulbs are as follows: 

 H to i<2-inch $6.00 per 1000 Mammoth Bulbs, H to 31<-inch. 



to >i-inch 9.50 per 1000 



All prices F. 0.

Gentlemen: 



Just a word about the Freesia Bulbs you sold me l<ist year. I have grown Freesia Bulbs for the past 20 years, but I have 

 never before cut so great a percentage in December. I cutfiilly 50% of my crop for the Christmas holidays. They were fine and 

 sold well at the Michigan Cut Flower Exchange in Detroit. 

 Your Dutch Bulbs are also fine. 



Yours truly, 



ROBERT KLAGGE, Mt. Oemens, Mich.
