LILiUM LONGIFLORUM EARLY QUEEN 
Will Show A Handsome Profit To The Grower 
Now Is The Time To Act 
A lily that will be in great demand. There is a demand 
right now but no one can supply the bulbs of this lily. What 
few bulbs there are, are jealously guarded as a seed pro¬ 
ducing source. Millions of bulbs of this lily will be sold, 
but before any selling can be done, the bulbs have to be pro¬ 
duced, which is easily done from seed. Up to 1932 the seed 
was scarce and hard to get. We now have the seed and can 
supply worth while quantities. 
Early Queen has a snow-white, trumpet shaped flower 
like the old Longiflorum lily. Seed started in January or 
early in February produces perfect flowers from August to 
frost at a time when lily blooms are scarce. The flowers 
brought a local grower that got a start on this lily from 
Beed we furnished him, fifteen cents a piece. The florist 
was glad to get them and would have used many more had 
there been more. All we can say is this: Every dollar you 
invest in this lily will make you a hundred dollars. Do not 
miss this chance. Height 3 ft. T. pkt. 40c; oz. 60c; Ya 
oz. $1.10; oz. $8.00.
