CHICAGO American Bult Company NEW YORK ; 

A. B. C. 
Ly, 108 
With the advent of war, many 
growers came to the conclusion 
that Easter Lilies were a thing of 
the past in our country—at least 
for the “duration.” They did not 
realize that Lily culture was being 
carried on in the United States to 
such an extent that considerable 
quantity of bulbs of forcing quality 
would be provided this past ship- 
ping season. 

GRADING A. B.C. AMERICAN-GROWN LILIES—The above picture taken at a 
modern Southern plantation during Iast year’s harvest shows them grading ARBAG 
“Supreme Quality” Lilies. Careful and liberal grading is only one of our efforts to 
assure our customers’ satisfaction. 
HE American Bulb Company, realizing its 
obligation to its customers, aggressively faced 
the problem of obtaining bulbs in quality and 
quantity. Our Mr. Miller alone traveled more 
than 7.000 miles in Oregon, Washington, Cali- 
fornia, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Florida, 
the principal growing centers. Through these and 
other field inspections, A. B. C. was able to supply 
bulbs of the usual supreme quality. 
American Lily bulb growers are enthusiastic 
about prospects for the future—their ability to pro- 
duce quality bulbs in quantity and at a competi- 
tive price. A. B.C. is keeping in closest touch 
with developments and assure our customers that 
we will continue to supply the same “Supreme 
Quality” for which we are so well known. We 
invite correspondence about your requirements. 
For full reliability, BUY FROM A. B. C. IN °44.
