'T'HE H. C. L. sure is worse than Sherman termed of war. All we got to 

 ■*■ do, however, is to hustle the harder to meet it. Despite that bulbs will 

 cost more than in the past, you must grow them— what is Easter without 

 the traditional lily? Grow good stock and with systematic marketing your 

 crop returns will surely make up for the increased cost of production. 

 To start right, get Horseshoe Brand— Ward's Bulbs are the World's Best.
