IILY BULBS are sure to be extremely 

 L^ scarce for this coming FalFs delivery. 

 The planting of Lily Bulbs in Japan for 

 the 1919 crop, planted last fall, before the war 

 ended, was reduced to less than half of former 

 years. Now that the war is over, the demand is 

 much greater than the supply. No European 

 country has taken any lily bulbs for several years— the United States re- 

 ceived the entire crop. But every country in the world will be in search 

 of Lily Bulbs at harvesting time this year.

THE DUTCH BULB situation last Fall proved that it is 

 necessary for you to place your order with a reliable concern. The 

 American Bulb Company last Fall filled in full every order that 

 was placed with it up to August. We also took care of hundreds 

 of disappointed Florists from our surplus stock that we always 

 provide for late buyers. 



THE FRENCH BULB situation is about the same as the 

 Japanese — scarce and a large demand for them. We have 

 made preparations to secure our full delivery by sending 

 100,000 francs to France on April 16 to take care of our order. 



We can ship Dutch and French bulbs F. 0. B. New York, and 

 can also make the same shipments F. 0. B. Chicago. Write us 



immediately and place your order with us.
