LILY OF THE VALLEY 
Prices in Germany are back on a pre-war c 
basis. Unfortunately, the Democrats "arid 'the 
Republicans put their heads together during 
the late tariff-making festival at Washington, 
and raised the duty from $2.00 to $6.00 per 
1,000. Our prices include this duty, also 
freight, cold storage expense, and cartage 
out.

(Conrallaria Majalis) 
A case of 250 fancy pips will fill 20 pots 
at a cost of 42 cents per pot. They can be 
made to bloom in 4 weeks and they will re¬ 
main two to three weeks in good salable 
condition. There is really nothing more 
graceful with which to fill pretty bowls. 
Every florist with a store of his own can 
handle this easy, effective, rapidly selling 
flower. If the pots don’t happen to go fast, 
there’s a funeral piece or a bride’s bouquet 
that takes them. Because it blooms so 
rapidly and sells rapidly, a little money in¬ 
vested in Valley can be turned over so many 
times, that it doubles itself in one year, even 
on a reasonable margin of profit. What other 
crops equal Valley in that respect? 
Our Valley is contract-grown, by the very 
best growers in Germany. Selected and 
packed under our supervision. We furnish 
a quality that is seldom matched by any 
other. It comes in cases of 250, 500, 1,000 
and 2,000 pips, carefully mossed for cold 
storage. 
Special contract prices on 10 cases, or 
more.
