Excerpt from the 
Florists’ Review, 
issue of Nov. 15, 
1934: 
“Texas-grown Paper 
Whites are in bloom 
in the Wabash Ave¬ 
nue store of the 
George Wienhoeber 
Co., which the Amer¬ 
ican Bulb Co. states 
are the first blooms 
on record this year 
in America. The Lone 
Star brand bulbs were 
planted October 3, 
and the first blooms 
started to appear No¬ 
vember 9. The A.B.C. 
states that Texas- 
grown Paper Whites 
planted in November 
will bloom the first 
of December and can 
be timed for any 
blooming date, that 
these have proved to 
be ideal for planting 
in greenhouse soil 
and for growing in 
pebbles and water.”

TRUE TEXAS GROWN 
We call your particular attention to our "Paper Whites” and “Soled 
D’Or” grown in Texas. They are equal to the French (flowers above the 
foliage, no grass). As Mr. Bernard, a prominent French Narcissus grower, 
stated, when he was here a few years ago (having had more than forty 
years’ experience in the growing and handling of French Narcissi), in 
order to grow good “Paper Whites” you must produce bulbs in one sea¬ 
son’s growth. Our climate in northeastern Texas is adapted for the 
culture of "Paper Whites.” We have cool autumns, slight snows in the 
wintertime, as in southern France, and we have a long spring of good 
growing weather, which gives us that one season’s growth. Since growing 
“Paper Whites” in Texas we have delivered up to ten million without 
complaint. 
Every case is marked “Texas-grown," and with a government certificate 
showing where they were produced. Therefore, buyers are assured of 
the genuine product.
