WHEN GRANDMOTHER MADE BREAD 



she always used the same flour, the same yeast, the same method of preparation and the same 

 stove. She used the best materials and her best efforts, but in spite of everything she could 

 do, sometimes the bread did not come up to standard. She never knew why, and just considered 

 it as luck. Now florists have about the same experience with lily bulbs. The same bulbs, and 

 the same methods, apparently, and still they don't come right. That's according to the law of 

 general averages. If every bulb flowered right, there would be no profit in the business, for 

 there is never profit without risk. What florists want in lily bulbs is the very best quality at 

 reasonable prices. This minimizes the risk and brings up the general average. There is no 

 brand known that will equal Horseshoe Brand for a general average test — simply because they 

 come from the very best lily bulb fields in the World. Prices very reasonable — Send for a 

 catalogue.
