possible share of this year's 



of Lily Bulbs 



sailed for Japan 



The American Bulb Co. has been constantly in 

 direct touch with the Lily Bulb growers of Japan, 

 and has had information that America must com- 

 pete with the world for this year's crop of Lily 

 Bulbs. To avoid any hitch, the American Bulb 

 Company had placed to its growers' credit on 

 April 15th, the sum of $50,000, to take care of 

 part of its purchase, to assure it of its supply, and May 20 our president 

 sailed for Japan to give his personal attention to the unprecedented situa- 

 tion. Our customers' interests must be protected. |
