A BULL trader, at the end of a bear day, tried a fifty cent "regular" dinner in New YorlJ, and was astonislied to 

 And it quite palatable. He said to the proprietor, as he paid his bill, "That was really a very good dinner; I 

 dun"t see how you can give it for the money." The proprietor looked sad as he replied: "Oh, well, you know, 

 accidents will happen." The florist occasionally may be astonished to find that a lot of low-priced lily bulbs turn 

 out very good — accidents will happen. Horseahoe Brand Bulbs never "happen" to be reliable — they are reliable 

 by nature, with a uniformity of excellent quality, which costs money to produce and saves you money to buy. The 

 hardy Japanese Liliums. such as Auratum, Magniflcum (the improved Rubrum) and Album, are a most excellent adjunct 

 to the progressive retail store, and in the proper season adds greatly to that variet.y of refinement in flowers so attractive 

 to flower-lovers. In bulbs of this kind, the largest and highest priced bulbs always pay the best if properly grown, and 

 there is nothing more handsome than a fine large plant of Speciosum Lilies or Auratum, with many flowers. Mammoth 

 bulbs must be ordered about a season in advance. We give below what we have to ofler for delivery now, or during 

 1913; and also a list of Horseshoe Brand Giganteum — the best cold storage white lily in the world. Send your orders 

 in now — they will never cost less and may cost more later.
