This country is the richest in the world. The wealth is not in Wall 

 Street either — it is from the soil. Our products this year are worth nearly 

 nine billion dollars. If the market value of our crops this year had to be 

 paid for in spot cash in one transaction, the world's known stock of gold 

 would fall one billion dollars short of footing the bill. The corn crop, valued 

 at $1,720,000,000, has been grown in about 120 days, or at the rate of about 

 $15,000,000 a day. The cotton crop in the south will be worth twice as 

 much as the entire gold output of the world this year. The mills in the 

 south are consuming nearly one-quarter of this cotton. It was only thirty 

 years ago when they began spinning. We are progressing every year. The 

 value of our crops has almost doubled in ten years. 



Are you progressing with the times ? Are you increasing your sales ? 

 We are, and you will too if you can produce the goods. Buy the very best 

 in bulbs and sell at a profit. Good flowers always sell before poor ones, no 

 matter what the price may be. Great care should be used, especially in 

 buying Lily Bulbs. Buy selected goods; good, clean, well cured bulbs. For 

 next Easter (April 16, 1911), we recommend Horseshoe Brand Giganteum. 

 These bulbs are the cream of the crop; raised from only the healthiest seed 

 bulbs; well ripened before they are harvested, and every case will be care- 

 fully inspected before shipment. We know from what field every case of 

 bulbs comes; a most complete record being carefully kept. 



Ask any grower of Horseshoe Brand Giganteum what his opinion is. 

 We don't ask you to take our word for it. Write us.
