FREESIA White Chief 
Our freesias bulbs are grown by specialists who know how to handle 
the stock from the time of planting until they arc packed and ship¬ 
ped. Why take a chance of buying from such dealers that buy from 
growers who grow for “cut flowers" and do not give their bulbs the 
best of care.

Chicago Growers Testify to the 
M erits of Freesia White Chief 
Palatine, III., March 4, 193? 
“I planted 8,000 of your freesia WHITE CHIEF in Octoberand want to 
let you know that they turned out very fine. The bulbs bloomed 100% 
and the flowers were good, with nice stems. WHITE CHIEF is certainly 
a good freesia. In fact, I consider it the best white to plant." 
Walter Schinkonsky, Palatine Floral Co. Inc. 
Park Ridge, 111., March 4, 193? 
"Kindly have your Mr. Huffman call when in the vicinity of our place 
to see us in regard to our order for freesia bulbs for next season. We want 
to take this opportunity to thank you for advising us to grow WHITE 
CHIEF last season. This variety proved to be everything you claimed. 
Long, stiff stem and large pure white flowers.” 
Fritz Pustlauk, Park Ridge Greenhouses 
Chicago, III . March 9, 193? 
"I consider your WHITE CHIEF freesia the best white I have ever 
grown. As you know, I bought 10,000 34-54 inch bulbs and cut 11,400 
blooms, all of which were perfect. Stems ranged from 24 to 36 inches, 
blooms were extra large, and pure white in color. In the future I will 
grow no other white freesia but your WHITE CHIEF "

to forty-eight degrees night temperature would bring out the 
good qualities to perfection. At the prices at which we offer 
this variety a grower should try a thousand or more.
