Albert Jones, of the Pennock-Mee- 

 han Co., has just returned from a 

 three weeks' vacation — we look for 

 business to boom from now on. Can- 

 ada. Maryland. 'York State," and 

 Pennsylvania — successively — took tip 

 the attention of this keen hunter aft- 

 er the latest and best. For some time 

 now, you may look for bargains — and 

 the smile that doesn't come off. 



Charles Moorby, lately a prominent 

 figure in the retail and wholesale life 

 of Philadelpma, has transferred his 

 energies to the south. He is now in

 ment of the .1. Van Lindley Nursery 

 Co., Greensboro, N. C. We recentl]

 quisition of a first-class man.

Great Barrington, Mass. — Dolby 

 Bros, have recently purchased two 

 iron-frame greenhouses from M. Pen- 

 dergast at Griswold Lodge Farm, and 

 are rebuilding them on their place on 

 Humphrey street. 



Our position in the trade 

 is somewhat like that of an 

 umpire of a base ball 

 game. We get cussed a 

 good deal and of course, 

 have some enemies, for no 

 man can have friends with- 

 out enemies. However, we 

 go right along pounding 

 stone and doing what we 

 believe is right, whether it 

 be for our own good or for 

 the good of the hive in 

 general. We make mis- 

 takes to be sure, but ul- 

 timately we hope to be bet- 

 ter understood and want 

 the good will of all. Now 

 there is one secret we have 

 and we're going to let you 

 in on it. It's a sort of wom- 

 an's secret though, and you 

 know a woman has only 

 two views of a secret 

 either it's not worth keep- 

 ing or it's too good to be 

 kept. Our secret is too 

 good to keep so you may 

 tell it to anyone you want, 

 and it's just this, that 

 Horseshoe Brand Lily 

 Bulbs have honestly got 

 most other brands skinned 

 a mile. More care and 

 labor is expended upon 

 them than you have any 

 idea of. Nothing that hu- 

 man hands can do is left 

 undone to make them bet- 

 ter bulbs. They are priced 

 as reasonable as we can af- 

 ford to sell them. Try them 

 if you don't know them 

 they are money-makers.
