The Florists^ Review 



59 



The edible bulbs produced in Japan are the Auratum, Platyphyllum and the Tigrinuni chiefly, which 

 are boiled and eaten like the common French artichoke. The Mag-nificum, Rubrum and Roseum are 

 broken up and the scales dried, after which they are exported to China, for eating purposes. Formosa 

 lily bulb scales are also soaked, and then made into a powdered starch, which is cooked and eaten in 

 the shape of cookies, cakes and other goodies for everyone. So do not think that all bulbs are used 

 solely for flowering purposes. Those which are used by the florist, however, must be of superior qual- 

 ity to those that are eaten. In all sorts of merchandise, in things to wear, in things to eat, or in things 

 for the horne, there are a few names denoting either maker or brand, which stand for quality. These 

 names are isolated from a hundred inferior products, simply because they have been tested in the labo- 

 ratory of public opinion and stamped with the seal of public approval. In the lily bulb line the name 

 Horseshoe Brand is distinctive in itself, and denotes the best there is during the current season. You 

 can safely buy that brand and be assured that you are getting the best that is possible to buy. There 

 are none better and many not as good. Horseshoe Brand Cold Storage Giganteum is a good invest- 

 ment just now — and a good investment is always the best to speculate on. They are always an abso- 

 lute necessity to a progressive florist. Write now.
