€]J All bulbs of quality must 

 bear a price in proportion 

 to the skill, time, expense 

 and risk attending their 

 cultivation and distribution. 

 Those bulbs termed dear 

 arc usually, when justl) 

 estimated, the cheapest; 

 they are cultivated with 

 much less profit than those 

 usually termed cheap. The 

 business of supplying bulbs 

 cheaply and not attending 

 to that excellence of quality 

 necessary to eventual suc- 

 cess, is the most frequent 

 and certain cause of busi- 

 ness decadence among bulb 

 houses throughout the 

 world. It cost more to pro- 

 duce ten Giganteum of 

 superior quality than it does 

 twenty of common calibre. 

 Real good Giganteum must 

 be planted very deep in the 

 soil and well fertilized and 

 cultivated. It takes much 

 longer and costs much more, 

 but the bulbs are worth all 

 it costs to those who know- 

 bulb values. Horseshoe 

 Brand Giganteum are to- 

 day the best we know of and 

 we can recommend them 

 to the most exacting grow 

 ers of lily bul bs in the world. 

 The cost to you is exactly 

 in proportion to what you 

 pay for — they arc a-la-carte 

 Giganteum. Write for 

 prices- they are the kind 

 your business requires.
