The Florists^ Review 59 The edible bulbs produced in Japan are the Auratum, Platyphyllum and the Tigrinuni chiefly, which are boiled and eaten like the common French artichoke. The Mag-nificum, Rubrum and Roseum are broken up and the scales dried, after which they are exported to China, for eating purposes. Formosa lily bulb scales are also soaked, and then made into a powdered starch, which is cooked and eaten in the shape of cookies, cakes and other goodies for everyone.

The Florists^ Review 59 The edible bulbs produced in Japan are the Auratum, Platyphyllum and the Tigrinuni chiefly, which are boiled and eaten like the common French artichoke. The Mag-nificum, Rubrum and Roseum are broken up and the scales dried, after which they are exported to China, for eating purposes. Formosa lily bulb scales are also soaked, and then made into a powdered starch, which is cooked and eaten in the shape of cookies, cakes and other goodies for everyone. So do not think that all bulbs are used solely for flowering purposes. Those which are used by the florist, however, must be of superior qual- ity to those that are eaten. In all sorts of merchandise, in things to wear, in things to eat, or in things for the horne, there are a few names denoting either maker or brand, which stand for quality. These names are isolated from a hundred inferior products, simply because they have been tested in the labo- ratory of public opinion and stamped with the seal of public approval. In the lily bulb line the name Horseshoe Brand is distinctive in itself, and denotes the best there is during the current season. You can safely buy that brand and be assured that you are getting the best that is possible to buy. There are none better and many not as good. Horseshoe Brand Cold Storage Giganteum is a good invest- ment just now—and a good investment is always the best to speculate on. They are always an abso- lute necessity to a progressive florist.
