Careful Buyers Who Investigate 



always secure the best lily bulbs, the best facilities, the best service. They are therefore able to grow 

 l)etter lilies, give better service and make a greater profit than those whose buying is carelessly done, or 

 hurriedly, or whose judgment is influenced by what they are told or what they think or what someone 

 else thinks for them. An experienced salesman can tell a careful buyer usually by the looks of his 

 establishment. To the balloonist some places must look like something the cat had brought in over 

 night. Other places have an appearance of order, cleanliness and regularity that sets them apart in a 

 class by themselves. Usually they are the most prosperous in the business. . The Judicious buyer buys 

 Horseshoe Brand Lily bulbs — principally because they average better results than any brand known. 

 Of course, some other bulbs flower well, and perhaps in instances you have seen our brand which were 

 not so good. Bulbs, a product of the soil, are subject to climatic conditions, and a small percentage 

 may "go back" any time. But the greenhouse strain is the greatest, where they are subjected to various 

 treatments which too often are very improper. However, all conditions being equal there is no brand 

 sold that will equal Horseshoe Brand Giganteum year after year for productiveness and profit to the 

 grower. Many buyers have learned this by experience. Experience costs money and we can save you 

 that cost, wliich is sometimes considerable, if you will buy this Brand in the beginning, and the sooner 

 you begin the better for both of us. Prices are reasonable — sent upon request. Write now.
