caution as tn dryness, care must be 

 taken not to have the temperature too 

 high and only pure chemicals must be 

 used; these, I believe, are the chief 

 points to be observed in preventing 

 disaster. Syringe the plants before the 

 sun reaches them in the morning. I 

 have never used more than three ounces 

 in one jar on growing crops, but more 

 jars per house. 



Have any of The Keview's readers 

 tried cyanide of sodium instead of po- 

 tassium? I have seen it recommended 

 largely in England, as being safer and 

 cheaper, and I understand that only 

 half the strength ia necessary.

In this world nothing abso- 

 lutely sure exists, except, per- 

 haps, taxes and death; 

 therefore we are all, in a 

 small degree, a pack of gam- 

 blers. The question is, how 

 much of a chance should we 

 take? Wise men always min- 

 imize chance as much as 

 possibfe. The professional 

 gambler always loses, eventu- 

 ally. The keeper of a gam- 

 bling house never gambles — 

 he knows too much, for if he 

 did he would not long be the 

 keeper. It's the f uzzle-headed 

 jiggers who do the gambling 

 — the easy-marks — those who 

 cannot withstand temptation. 

 In lily bulbs there is always 

 a more or less degree of gam- 

 bling by l^ie ve?-£;:Jtftture of 

 the business. It's an ever- 

 lasting fight against the eter- 

 nal cussedness of things. But 

 the chance can be minimized 

 materially if growers would 

 buy Horseshoe Brand bulbs 

 to begin with. There are 

 none better produced and 

 there may be many worse. 

 One dose of bad Lily bulbs in 

 a period of five years will be 

 a greater loss to the grower 

 than the extra cost of the best 

 bulbs, to say nothing of the 

 loss and disappointment in a 

 business way. Buy Horse- 

 shoe Brand Lily bulbs — they 

 are the safest all-around bulbs 

 there are.
