ASSETS AND LIABILITIES 



A good field of Giganteum in Japan is an asset to the consumer who gets the bulbs— a bad field 

 is a big liability. It don't matter how cheap you buy bad bulbs— you lose just the same. There- 

 fore the first requisite in buying lily bulbs is to get stock from the best fields— when you are sure 

 of that you may dicker on price if you want. Good fields bring good prices, naturally, so don't 

 ever let a salesman seU you lily bulbs just because they are cheap. It never pays. Hcn-seshoe 

 Brand Giganteum come from the very best fields in Japan— when you msist upon that brand you 

 are safe in dickering on price, but otherwise you are skating on thin ice. Many growers know 

 by experience which has cost them money— let others profit by their experience. When you buy 

 lily bulbs ask for Horseshoe Brand— no other brand will average hig-her. Send for catalog with 



prices. _ ^^ .^
