EVERY florist store is as incomplete without lilies as a grocery store would be without cotfee. Horsesboe Brand 

 Cold Storage Gitranteum will force comparatiTely easy in from 12 to 14 weeks, and no good excuse can be given 

 for not having lilies. Some of your customers will surely want them sooner or later, and if you don't have 

 what they want they will go elsewhere the next time to get it. And could you have any flowers in your store 

 more useful than good, pure, white lilies? Is there any thing better for funeral designs? Won't they go fur- 

 ther in making up than most any other flowers? And for weddings — are there any flowers more appropriate than 

 lilies? Then tor general all around purposes, isn't it gcod policy to have lilies on hand at all times? There's another 

 thing about Cold Storage lilies that's often lost sight of, and that is you always know well in advance just 

 about what time your crop will be in flower. Good lilies will keep for several weeks, too, and it is not necessary to 

 use them all up at once. All the alujve applies to good lilies — they must be of good quality to be money-makers for 

 you. There is a difference In bulbs .iust as there is in nearly all products of the earth. This difference is Just what 

 prompts this advertisement— and If you don't buy Horseslioe Brand Cold Storaee Gig:anteani, we both lose — we lose a 

 certain margin of profit and you lose a certain margin of flowers. Don't wait— send now for the Horseshoe Brand 

 Planting Table for Cold Storage bulbs. The prices are all the same — no favorites. Full instructiODS given for forcing.
