He who gets something for nothing gets nothing from something in return. There are a good many 

 buyers of lily bulbs who expect good bulbs, but who don't pay the price for them in return. This 

 class never average as high in returns as those buyers who pay a fair price. In any line of business 

 a buyer must regulate his purchases by the general average of results and never by any one particular 

 instance of profit or loss. Particularly in lily bulbs must a buyer secure only the best, as the propor- 

 tion of cost of bulbs to percentage of profit is such as to make that initial cost a secondary considera- 

 tion. Every lily grower of experience knows it does not pay to gamble with uncertain brands — and 

 that there is one brand which is almost always absolutely dependable — and that brand is Horseshoe 

 Brand — the finest lily bulbs in the World. A catalog with prices upon application.
