The Florists^ Review 



93 



Your Business 



during 1917 will be just as good as you 

 make it. Every business is a good busi- 

 ness — how good depends on you. For 

 many reasons 1917 promises to be a 

 banner year for florists. Are you pre- 

 pared for it? Have you enough bulbs? 

 Don't wait until it is too late — and, be- 

 sides, there are no very large surpluses 

 to choose from. The growers have had 

 two years of war times, and their crops 

 are shortened with the demand. Other 

 crops brought more money, so they grew 

 other things. Times are changing, 

 prices will be higher — bulbs will soon be' 

 high enough to be better appreciated. 

 Freights are higher, packing is higher, 

 labor is higher, quantities produced are 

 lower, and the unprecedented demand 

 that is sure to come, will make prices 

 high before long. The pendulum of the 

 clock of business swings back and forth 

 of its own momentum plus the power be- 

 hind it — and times are going to be better 

 than they have been bad. The change 

 is here — are you ready for it? Get your 

 greenhouses planted to their utmost 

 capacity — buy your bulbs now — get 

 enough Horseshoe Brand Giganteum 

 now to last you during 1917 — price from 

 various shipping centers is $18 per case 

 i of 300 bulbs, as advertised.
