Late planted Freesias often “sleep”, refusing to make topgrowth, but 
forming a new bulb underground. Occasionally early planted ones 
show this expensive trait too. An excellent simple safeguard 1s to 
soak the bulbs just before planting, in ordinary cold water for 24 
hours. Late planting should aLways be handled with this precaution. 
Freesias seem to like GROUND LIME STONE and bonemeal in Carnation 
soil. Do best tn 52° to 55° F. 
In England soot water ts used to give a higher tone and color to 
Freesias and other bulbous flowers. 
LILY OF THE VALLEY 
A case of 250 fancy pips will fill 20 pots. They can be made to bloom 
in 4 weeks and they will remain two to three weeks in good saleable condi- 
tion. There is really nothing more graceful with which to fill pretty bowls. 
Every florist with a store of his own can handle this easy, effective, rapidly 
selling flower. If the pots don't happen to go fast, there's a funeral piece 
or a bride's bouquet that takes them. Because it blooms so rapidly, a 
little money invested in Valley can be turned over so many times, that 
it doubles itself in one year, even on a reasonable margin of profit. What 
other crops equal Valley in that respect? 
Our Valley is grown by the very best growers. Selected and packed 
under our supervision. We furnish a quality that is seldom matched by any
