APPEAL TO THE TRADE: 



The recent decree of .the French government, forbidding all 

 trading with the enemy, put our Provence aeed growing people in. 

 an anxious situation. During many years I was growing, with the 

 assistance of well chosen, clever and honest' cultivators, big and 

 numerous sorts of seeds for the enemy. These seeds are now lying 

 here to be sold. I therefore beg to make appeal to the British seeds- 

 men, both of England and colonies, to take a friendly, sympathetic 

 and patriotic view of it by paEsing me your order.

The General 

 Average 



You /can never be too sure of 

 anything, and least of all of 

 son/ething which has all the 

 earmarks of a sure thing. 

 Nothing is so uncertain as the 

 duration of the life of an in- 

 dividual. Yet nothing is more 

 certain than the average dura- 

 tion of life of a thousand 

 individuals. We know the 

 average duration of human 

 life is about 33 years; we 

 know about 25% die before 

 the age of six and 50% before 

 the age of sixteen; and that 

 only 1% live to be 65. Of a 

 thousand men we know so 

 many smoke, so many are 

 criminals, so many attend 

 church, etc. It is the Law of 

 Average. This law may be 

 applied as well to Lily bulbs. 

 It says that Horseshoe Brand 

 lily bulbs average nearly 90% 

 good when properly grown; 

 that most all the largest con- 

 sumers use them; and the 

 very largest use them en- 

 tirely. MWre profit has been 

 made from this brand than 

 from any other brand ever 

 known. We don't claim every 

 bulb will give you unequaled 

 results, but we do claim a 

 thousand bulbs will average 

 more and better results than 

 a like quantity from other 

 brands. The average is what 

 counts. Absolutely the best 

 that can be obtained any- 

 where. Catalogue free.
