LILY BULBS 



A business house owes its reputation more to what it gives than to what it gets. In other 

 words the merit of the thing sold outlives the money involved in the transaction. We 

 give our customers the best in lily bulbs there is and get the least consistent with a legit- 

 imate reward for our services. Some think that because we are the largest handlers of 

 lily bulbs in the world, we should be able to compete in price with anyone. Our answer 

 is that our aim is not price at all, but quality, and we do compete there with anyone in 

 the business. Horseshoe Brand Giganteum will average more flowers year in and year 

 out than any other brand in the market. Lily bulbs of prime quality — from the best 

 fields never go begging — price never gets them — it's the other kind that make price at- 

 tractive. The Avise florist, however, will get Horseshoe Brand bulbs and he can then feel 

 sure he is getting bulbs that are at least from good healthy fields, well cui-ed and prop- 

 erly packed. The present prices are as follows, and deliveries can be made in nearly 

 all the sizes immediately:
