NARCISSI- 
The producing of the Highest Quality Forcing Bulbs is no longer 
an experiment with us, for we have been supplying the trade with 
daffodil bulbs for the last ten years with the very best of-results. 
• We find that in our contacts with the forcing trade, there usually 
DAFFODILS 
exists a shortage of good stock during the period following the 
Christmas Holidays. Daffodil bulbs grown in our section will 
produce a maximum of bloom from January 1 on or during ^a period 
when the grower is able to realize a good profit on his investment. ^_

LILIUM REGALE 
Our Regale Lily bulbs will be ready for delivery by October 1st. 
May we book your order at this time for later delivery? 
Why not try a few of these bulbs for forcing? The Florists who 
have tried them, either in pots or in the bench, have had wonderful 
results as they make a beautiful pot plant, or are ideal to use as cut 
stock for your shop trade. If you have never grown the Regale it will 
pay you to send us a trial order. 
For greenhouse use we would recommend a bulb averaging in size 
from 7 to 9 inches. Also would advise planting on arrival of bulbs. 
For counter sale and resale for outdoor blooms, any of the sizes 
listed below will produce fine flowers. Of course the larger the bulb 
the more blooms to the spike.
