HORTICULTURE 



April B, 1918 



WHEN" this nation of ours was born nearly everyone was a generalist. The merchant sold a 

 general line; the doctor was also a farmer and a horse trader and so on. As time passed 

 some of the wiser men turned specialists and succeeded. The doctor who is a generalist now 

 cannot excel in any one branch of medicine, or compete with the specialist who devotes his 

 entire time and study and practice toward one point. The merchant who sells everything cannot 

 compete with the man who makes one class of goods his specialty. The general florist of today can- 

 not compete with the specialist who grows one thing and grows it well. It is the same in the bulb busi- 

 ness. With the keen competition of these days it is necessary for the individual to be a specialist in 

 business. We are specialists in lily bulbs, and have been for some years. It is a business in itself, 

 and done right, is not as simple as it looks. We devote more time to lily bulbs than anyone else in the 

 business. In point of quality and price, which is the combination necessary for ultimate success, no 

 one can excel us. Horseshoe Brand Lily bulbs already have a reputation, as the very best produced 

 anywhere. The prices are as reasonable as good business judgment will permit. A catalogue upon 

 request, with prices.
