one of the oldest and most reliable shippers in Japan, which assures us 
the "cream of the crop." Our customers have the assurance, when 
placing orders with us, of receiving first quality, 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.

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.
