$ BIG MONEY $ 

 IN BREENHOUSE CROPS 



Profits in the greenhouse business are larger 

 than ever. What does it matter if the original 

 investment is a trifle greater? It's the per- 

 centage of profit that counts after all. 



Before the advance, we contracted for a big 

 supply of Louisiana Red Cypress lumber. We 

 are therefore still in a position to make you 

 exceedingly attractive prices on strictly guar- 

 anteed greenhouse work. Write immediately

IT IS TRITONIA CROCATA. 



Under separate cover I am mailing 

 you a bulb and blossom and would 

 like to know what they are. They are 

 quite uniform in size and color and 

 the large plot we liave of them makes 

 a beautiful showing. Are the bulbs of 

 any commercial value? If so, what 

 would you consider a fair price? 



R. A. L.— Cal. 



It is Tritonia crocata, seen to some 

 extent in bettor class flower stores in 

 spring, and the true crocata type, 

 orange, is a good seller. Bulbs of T. 

 crocata should be worth $.3 to $4 per 

 hundred, wholesale; mixed, about $10 

 per thousand. C. W. 



The two insertions sold everything I 

 had.— H. M. Morris, Rantoul, 111.
