WHAT Sherman said about war applies to bad lily bulbs as well. Ten years ago when you 

 wanted a thousand good lily plants for Easter it was customary to buy from 1500 to 2000 

 bulbs, because the percentage of loss due to bad bulbs was so large. When Horseshoe Brand 

 Giganteum entered the business arena buyers of this brand experienced a pleasant surprise in 

 iinding that they could get results averaging about 90% good plants. True, the price was high, but 

 they were worth the money. Word was passed around that Horseshoe Brand Giganteum were par 

 excellent, and the businesi^ increased to an extent that enabled the producers to lower the price, and 

 today the bulbs cost no more than other brands — and they are still par excellent. Now you can 

 buy this brand from Ralph M. Ward & Company only. If anyone not connected with this firm offers 

 you Horseshoe Brand Lily Bulbs do not buy from them as they are misrepresenting their goods to 

 you, and fraudulently imposing upon us. Furthermore, beware of lily bulbs "just as good" as a cer- 

 tain brand. When a salesman sells you anything "just as good" as a certain brand, it's an open 

 acknowledgiuent that that certain brand is the best to buy. In lily bulbs for commercial use there 

 are none produced today that will surpass Horseshoe Brand Giganteum as profit makers. Prices are 

 the same to all — no favorites — send for the price-list. Cold storage bulbs for delivery any time.
