Parcel post has proven very satisfactory for shipping blooms, packed in

The pure yellow Primulinus Sunbeam when displayed with purple Baron

Peeled bulblets require a warmer soil than the unpeeled ones, and for

To grow giant flower spikes, plant in rows 21 to 30 inches apart and 7

Long distance crates for mailing cut blooms may be made of slats
