 Club in its rooms last Friday brought 

 out a very good general display. Fred 

 Breitmeyer took all the honors in 

 roses and carnations. Thos. Brown 

 cleaned tip in large chrysanthemums 

 and Taepke showed the best assort- 

 ment in commercial sizes. In potted 

 plants Chas. Plumb took the honors. 

 Lorraine begonias by M. Bloy were 

 especially fine. Messrs. Danzer, Stev-

 any other insecticide we have ever used.''''

 insecticide. One advantage beifg that it is free 

 from the disagreeable odors of toi'acco products.''''

 Lilies 



There is nothing more 

 useful in the modern 

 flower shop than a pure 

 white lily of quality. It 

 may be used for many 

 purposes and on many oc- 

 casions with perfect pro- 

 priety and profitably. To 

 a design it adds unexcelled 

 refinement and beauty and 

 costs no more per square 

 inch to cover than other 

 flowers. 



The man who conducts 

 a modern shop must have 

 lilies because modern buy- 

 ers demand them. This 

 demand is increasing year 

 by year, and it is satisfied 

 largely by Horseshoe 

 Brand Cold Storage 

 bulbs, which are beyond a 

 doubt at the present time, 

 the very best in the world. 

 They will average more 

 profit per thousand bulbs 

 than any brand known, 

 and that is because they 

 have been selected only 

 from the healthiest and 

 finest fields in Japan. 



Prices are standard and free 

 upon application
