Too Much Rain. 

 While do reports have reached us, 

 ii seems certain that the heavy long- 

 contlnued rains ol the pasi week must 

 have caused considerable damage to 

 all late outstanding crops, ami partic- 

 ularly beans ami corn, rum- to 

 past week of rain much damage had 

 been done to beans and ii was general- 

 ly understood bj the growers ol Mich- 

 igan and Wisconsin that their bean 

 crops had deteriorated from 2G per 

 i ent. to 30 per cent, wil hin i he past 

 three weeks. We are fully prepared to 

 bear that this damagi has been fur- 

 ther augmi nted an per cent

M7[ The advertisements which 

 jj appear in this column have 

 all been written by Ralph M 

 Ward personally. They are 

 prepared sometimes on the 

 spur of the moment, perhaps 

 during his hour ride on the 

 Reading Railroad every morn- 

 ing and evening, or whenever 

 he feels so inclined and in his 

 various moods. Of course, 

 some you do not like, and 

 some you tolerate, and we 

 have been told some have done 

 us harm. Those which have 

 t'one us harm have necessarily 

 done others good and we are 

 not so jealous of our competi- 

 tion as to deny them their 

 portion of business. Mistakes 

 are made by Mr. Ward occa- 

 sionally and sometimes big 

 ones, but we are working away 

 just the same, hoping to im- 

 prove until we reach that age 

 when we begin to decline, as 

 all men do, and when that 

 time comes we want younger 

 blood to take- the reins; con- 

 tinue boosting what is right 

 and make away with the ways 

 and means of bye-gone days. 

 Our business is to sell bulbs — 

 especially lily bulbs — we have 

 no seed store — we sell whole- 

 sale only. We import what we 

 sell direct and our sources of 

 supply are reliable actual grow- 

 ers and not merely exporters or 

 dealers. Our aim is to induce 

 growers to buy the best and we 

 discourage the sale of inferior 

 bulbs — for two good reasons: 

 first because a grower cannot 

 succeed in handling inferior 

 bulbs and secondly a perman- 

 ent business cannot be built up 

 in bulbs alone unless one de- 

 livers the very best that can be 

 procured. Write for prices on 

 Horseshoe Brand Bulbs.
