"The Best is the Cheapest** 



Is a saying that most growers recognize as the truth regarding lilj' bulbs. It is generally understood 

 to mean that the best cost more than the lower grades, but in speaking of Horseshoe Brand 

 Bulbs it is a mistaken idea, for they cost no more than most other bulbs. This is be- 

 cause of the large volume of business done, which enables us to work on a smaller margin of 

 profit than most firms can afford. The bulbs come from the most direct source possible, where 

 they are produced by the best native Japanese growers of lily bulbs in the world. Besides the fact 

 that the price is not higher, fall deliveries of advance orders are made from twelve different cities in 

 the United States and Canada. This means a saving in freight of from $3.00 to $10.00 per 100 bulbs 

 — have you ever considered the freight you pay? Taking all things into consideration, there are a 

 good many reasons why florists should buy Horseshoe Brand Lily Bulbs, and there are no reasons, 

 except sentimental reasons, why they should not. You can't buy better bulbs, and you might get 

 worse. The same price to everyone — no favorites. Send us your order now.
