The 



Horseshoe 

 Brand 



You are in business to make money — so 

 are we. Perhaps it has not occurred to 

 you that the relation between the importer 

 and consumer is such that it is to the im- 

 porter's interest to help the consumer make 

 more money. Whether the reason be self- 

 ish or not matters little. It does not in 

 any way affect the sincerity of our purpose 

 in rendering efficient service to our cus- 

 tomers by careful and prompt execution of 

 their orders, thereby advancing the value 

 of our goods to our clients and promoting 

 their sale. 



We do not aspire to sell cheaper than 

 others, but to furnish the best bulbs the 

 various growers can produce. We honestly 

 believe if you would buy some of our best 

 bulbs you would be so impressed with 

 their superior quality, that you would insist 

 upon getting the same brand in future. 

 Horseshoe Brand bulbs are produced by 

 the very best growers in their respective 

 sphere and they will average the highest 

 returns. Ask the man who grows them. 



It is about time for Japan lily bulbs and if you have not already bought some 

 of our Horseshoe Brand bulbs, it will pay you to try a case or so of our best. 

 They are not cheap but they are good. There is as much difference in some 

 bulbs as between a buzzard and a bird of paradise. DO YOU WANT BUZZARDS ?
