 haps fifty per cent of the crop harvested 

 and under cover. The yield, on the 

 average, we should judge will be about 

 half a crop, perhaps a little better." 



LOS ANGELES SEED NOTES. 



The retail fall business, according to 

 the leading seedsmen at Los Angeles, 

 has never been equaled in the history 

 of the trade and this notwithstanding 

 the shortage in some lines. A high 

 percentage of the seeds contracted for 

 are being •delivered, both local and 

 northern, but European growers are 

 away behind in their deliveries. Celery 

 is again a' disappointment and there is 

 a great shortage, there being no old 

 seed left over. 



Charles Winsel is growing quite a 

 little of the rarer seed at his new ranch 

 at Montebello. He finds an excellent 

 demand for English milltrack mushroom 

 spawn. 



Aggeler & Musser report a fine fall 

 business. Mr. Musser has settled down 

 to work again and is showing a most, 

 interesting set of photographs taken by 

 him on his recent trip to the Hawaiian 

 Islands. H. R. R.

SOME FACTS 



1 You can make more money per square foot of bench space by 

 growing good lilies than on anything you can produce in the 

 Same amount of time. 



2 The only limit to your profit is that based on your ability to 

 market the cut flowers and plants on a business basis — and this 

 is a big country. / 



3 Expensive greenhouses are unnecessary for their production — 

 lilies will pay for a greenhouse quicker than the profits of any 

 other article. 



4 The demand is increasing with great rapidity because the flow- 

 ers can be profitably used for so many purposes — and always 

 appropriately. 



5 Good lilies are an absolute necessity — just ordinary lilies won't 

 do. They must be of good size, healthy plants, strong crisp 

 flowers to stand shipment, and rough usage when necessary. 



6 In order to produce good lilies to make possible large profits 

 you must plant good bulbs and give them proper treatment. 



7 There is no brand known today that has given the average 

 flowering, results, year after year, that will equal the Horseshoe 

 Brand Giganteum record. 



8 This is because this brand is grown for quaUty instead of quan- 

 tity. Experienced men — only the best of planting bulbs — good 

 fertilizer — hand weeding to prevent injury to plants — constant 

 care — disbudding at the right time and not lifted until they 

 are fully matured. 



9 It is cheaper to buy the best bulbs — a bad lily bulb planted in a 

 greenhouse costs a florist ten times as much as the same bulb 

 costs a Japanese grower to uproot and burn. 



lo The cost of Horseshoe Brand Giganteum per bulb is consistent 

 with the quality delivered, and owing to this quality the cost per 

 flower is less than any brand known.
