Considering everything, weather 

 conditions, etc., the summer exhibition

CLUB AND SOCIETY NOTES. 



At a speeial meeting of the North 

 Shore Horticultural Society it was 

 voted not to hold its summer show, 

 similar action having been taken in 

 regard to its June show owing to the 

 season not having been favorable to 

 the culture of Mowers. The chrysan- 

 themum show probably will be held in 

 the autumn at Manchester, Mass. 



The St, LouiS Retail Florists' As- 

 sociation held its .ing mi the night 



of Aug. ii The attendance was sur- 

 prisingly la ge and a great deal of im- 

 portant business was transacted. A 

 mail vote was taken among the local 

 retailers tor earlj closing, and 4_ re- 

 sponded, of which '■'■<• were in favor of 

 closing early. Then. Miller was ap- 

 pointed chairman of the legislative 

 committee, to act with a committee 

 appointed by the Florist club to pull 

 through the bill now inline the house 

 of delegates to stop "crepe pulling."

^Assuming for the sake- of argu- 

 ment that Horse- ad Lily 

 bulbs cosl 20 per cent more than 

 common brands of no speeial 

 . and the bulb cost is from L0 

 per cent of the selling value 

 of the flowers; don't you think it 

 is much safer to pay the ditTeri 

 for Horseshoe Brand? If you 

 get one more flower from five 

 bulbs it will more than pay you 

 the difference in bulb cost, noi 

 considering at all the chance you 

 take in buying goods of doubtful 

 value. So after all it is more eco- 

 nomical by far to pay 20 per cent 

 more for a brand which will net 

 you one more flower in five bulbs; 

 and the possibilities arc actually 

 much greater, while the liability for 

 loss is much less. Furthermore 

 Horseshoe Brand bulbs do not al- 

 ways cost 20 per cent more than 

 other brands, even no more in 

 some cases, and if anyone doubts 

 the real value of the brand, all we 

 ask them to do is to try them anil 

 keep a record of results. It's the 

 record most growers fail to keep 

 and after the season is over they 

 seldom know whose goods are the 

 best — merely have a jumbled idea 

 that they obtained so many flowers 

 from so many bulbs — that's 

 all. Lily bulbs in the fields 

 generally sold a-la-Carte — you 

 just what you pay for and 

 ■ it's best to pay the 

 fair price and get the cream of the 

 crop. 



Write for prices.
