HORTICULTURE 



October 26, 1912 



WHEN a little child begins to think the first indication he gives is by asking 

 "Why." In fact some children have better reasoning powers than their parents, 

 who go through life like a three-wheeled hand-car on a railroad track — they get 

 in a rut. "We do well enough" was a motto of a great city in olden times ; people 

 now dig up mementos of that city underneath the sand. Every business firm has the 

 dominating influence of one man, and the success of the business depends upon 

 whether that one man is a progressive and a thinker or just a mere worker. The thinker 

 is the most capable buyer because he reasons "why." When he buys he makes an in- 

 vestment — an investment has revenue for its reason. The other kind speculate and 

 gamble on the revenue — and no gambler ever made money in the long run. There's 

 enough gamble in the growing without taking any chances on the bulbs. Now in or- 

 der to minimize a possible loss, it is advisable to buy Horseshoe Brand hulhs, because 

 they are produced with such care as to withstand much rough treatment. Horseshoe 

 Brand Giganteums make the best Cold Storage bulbs in the world, just for that reason. 

 Besides the late arrivals are packed for that purpose. The following are offered in 

 select stock — immediate delivery :
