 ORANDIFLORA 



In placing our contracts with French growers we are careful 

 to secure the largest bulbs that are obtainable, and the grade of 

 these which we offer under the name of "Star Brand" is the 

 choicest stock to be had in France, and we are onh- able to obtain 

 each year a limited number of them. Our experience has been 

 that they are well worth the difference in price over the smaller 

 grades. However, the quality which we offer uniler the heading 

 "Fancy" is a selected grade from the general stock.
