Giving away Il y blossoms has been profitable to the lily industry, George Fun k has learned from Greyhound bus drivers, who told him quite a story. Wednesday morning, in his interview with the Pilot, Mr. Funk told about returning to Brookings by bus Sunday. He gave his bus ticket to the driver at Portland terminal, and when the driver noted the destination he remarked: “Brooking! Isn't that the place they give away all the lily blossoms f You should hear the remarks we do of travelers who came through there. They rave about the courtesy, and of the blos soms, many having never had one in their hands before." Mr. Funk told the Pilot he often wondered j u s t how much good the giving away of blossom really did—he has no doubts in his mind now. “We made our mistake by not conducting the booths as long as lily blossoms were to be had. Next year 1 hope we can keep them open at least three weeks if there are any blooms left."
