#TTNothing ' s more subject to 

 Jl mistake and disappointment 

 than anticipated judgment con- 

 cerning the easiness or difficul- 

 ty of any undertaking : whether 

 your opinion be formed from 

 the performance of others or 

 from abstracted contemplation 

 of the thing to be attempted. 

 Whatever is done skilfully ap- 

 pears to be done with ease ; 

 and art, when it is once matured 

 to habit, vanishes from obser- 

 vation. 



Lily growers who have an idea 

 that it's a snap to grow lilies 

 properly will do well to con- 

 sider what they really know 

 about it. It is easy enough for 

 those who already know be- 

 cause they have acquired that 

 skill through careful study and 

 experience. After jou have 

 acquired the same ability, of 

 course, it is easy and habit will 

 take the place of art : but don't 

 think just because your neigh- 

 bor knows that you do too 

 The far off fields always look 

 green but when you reach 

 them they are the same old 

 brown that you find around 

 home on a hot summer's day. 

 The wise thing to do then is to 

 be careful — be attentive, work, 

 use your reasoning faculties 

 and above all have good tools 

 to work with. The principle 

 tool in the lily business is a 

 good bulb — it's an absolutely 

 essential tool and no grower, 

 no matter how good, can do 

 without it. Horseshoe Brand 

 Giganteum will eclipse any- 

 thing on the market for pro- 

 ductiveness and all around sat- 

 isfactory service. Try them.
