Chicago AMERICAN BULB CO. NewYork 
A. B. C. LILY HEADQUARTERS 
HOUSE OF LILIES PRODUCED FROM A. B. C. BULBS 
The fact that we have consistently supplied from year to year and 
tor many seasons past, numerous of the largest Lily growers in this 
country and Canada, is indicative, we believe, that A. B. C. "Supreme" 
Quality Lily Bulbs have obtained an enviable reputation amongst the trade. 
Our extensive purchases of this line enable us to control the output of 
one of the oldest and most reliable shippers in Japan, which assures us the 
"cream of the crop". Our customers have assurance, when placing orders 
with us, of receiving first guality, healthy stock, uniform strain and grading. 
We know the locality where all our Lilies are grown and our long 
and extensive experience in handling same enables us to eliminate 
strains and types that do not give satisfactory results. 
The new 1936 crop will be available in due course, and as prices 
have not been established on some kinds at the time of going to press, 
we will appreciate receiving a list of your Lily requirements for the 
coming season, and we will be glad to quote our most favorable 
figures.

LILIUM CANDIDUM "Madonna Lily' 
Imported French Grown 
Note! —Lilium Candidum is nowadays primarily planted outdoors, 
bulbs being set soon after their arrival from France. (Cover them not 
more than 2 inches.) In days gone by, Lilium Candidum was largely 
cultured under glass, although this plan is still followed to some extent. 
However, they must be grown cool, never more than 55° at night. 
Lilium Candidum and Delphinium Belladonna bloom at the same period 
outdoors and provide a most "happy combination".
