HOBTICULTUEB 



March 1, 1913 



He Laughs Best 



who laughs last, is often the case with lily bulb buyers, who make price their sole argument in 

 buying. The writer knows one of this type — the genuine razor-back variety — who always wanted 

 something for nothing, and for that reason we could never sell him bulbs. Last fall this man 

 bought some Multifiorum at a low price, from a two-cylindered salesman, who was silly enough to 

 guarantee them 85% true. Well, this florist was tickled to death with his bargain — felt just like 

 the fellow who was wrecked on a desert island with the girl who had refused him the night before. 

 That was last fall. Now, after the plants are grown, this particular buyer feels about the size 

 of the nipple-end of a lemon. Swears he won't pay for the bulbs — though he will likely be 

 obliged to. Now, even if he don't pay for the bulbs, where will he get even on his time, labor, 

 expense and loss of business profits ? It has been a good dose of business-medicine for him — the 

 kind that cures ; and he knows it. He admits he was wrong — thank goodness he's man enough to 

 admit it. Now, he has bought Horseshoe Brand Giganteum for fall, 1913. No strings on the 

 order, no promises, and at standard prices. Our business is large lily bulbs — we have spent years 

 to get where we are today in the business, and we endeavor to deliver the goods instead of promises. 

 Write for prices and the new Horseshoe Bulbology, out in March.
