Q The most profitless occupa- 

 tion in the world is to sit idly- 

 thinking of what you would da 

 if you had another chance. 

 Forget what you have done 

 badly and do better in the 

 future. Suppose you have 

 had a bad lot of lily bulbs — 

 that's no reason you can't do 

 better. Perhaps if you reason 

 it out, it was your own fault. 

 Be reasonable. Get the best 

 bulbs you can buy — th t's 

 Horseshoe Brand Qigan= 

 teum — take reasonable care 

 of them, and you will have 

 lilies you can depend upon. 

 The reason why Horseshoe 

 Brand are better than the 

 I average is the most simple 

 I thing in the world, and that is 

 I primarily that they cost more 

 money. It takes money to get 

 I the best, but when the first 

 cost of lily bulbs is sjnall com- 

 pared with the value of a good 

 plant, what's the use in trying 

 to get an eight cent bulb for 

 six cents. Pay the price and 

 get an article worth while and 

 you will profit by it. Cold 

 Storage Giganteum cf Horse- 

 shoe Brand should be ordered 

 now for delivery during 191 1 — 

 you need them in jour busi- 

 ness — there is nothing better 

 for funeral work and nothing 

 more appropriate.

NEW BEGONIAS. 



Among the plant novelties arousing 

 the greatest sensation in Europe at 

 the present lime are the: hybrids be- 

 tween the tuberous rooted begonias 

 and Gloire de Lorraine. According to 

 description and photographs the plants 

 are covered with flowers as abundant- 

 ly as in the Lorraine, but the blooms 

 are several times larger and in all 

 variations of color.
