The Florists' Review 



FREESIA PURITY—Improved 



We believe we are the largest handlers of high-grade Purity Freesia bulbs in America. All our fields arc thoroughly examined 

 during their growing stage by members of the firm, to insure our customers the best the crops can produce. We can deliver 

 Freesia bulbs early enough to enable you to get them in bloom for Christmas, if properly handled. Our bulbs are not grown in the 

 wet district of California, but are properly watered by irrigation. They are all grown near Los Angeles, which florists in California 

 recognize as the best place to grow high'grade bulbs. The fact ihat we sell quantities in California of our own growing is evidence 

 that florists know where the best quafity is produced. Bulbs offered in the following sizes, all up to size:

 Dear Sirs: 



The Freesia Purity you sold me this year 

 were as good as ever. I have found that I 

 can always rely on your Freesia Bulbs. The 

 large ones for early forcing were Ui for the 

 holidays as usual. 



The Rainbow Freesias are fine, growing tall 

 and have very stilT stems. The colors are 

 very fine and sell readily. Yours truly, 



GEORGE C. WEILAND.

Gentlemen: 



Just a word about the Freesia bulbs you 

 sold me last year. I have grown Freesia bultti 

 for the past 20 years, but I have never Iwfore 

 cut so large a percentage in Decemtwr. I cut 

 fully 50 per cent of my crop for the Christmaa 

 holidays. They were flne and sold well at the 

 Michigan Cut Flower Exchange in Detroit. 



Your Dutch bulbs are also fine. 

 Yours truly, 

 ROBERT KLAGGE. Mt. Clemens. Mich.
