IT IS ..A. STRANGE FACT 



that a day-old colt can run 

 as fast as its mother. This 

 has been brought about 

 through evolution, since the 

 day when horses ran wild 

 and their means of escape 

 from their enemies was 

 flight. If a colt could not 

 run fast enough it was left 

 . behind and eaten, so only 

 the swiftest lived. Finally 

 the breed improved by elimi- 

 nation of inferior stock, and 

 the colts were born fleet of 

 foot. It is the old story of 

 the survival of the fittest. 

 In the lily bulb business a 

 similar process took place 

 not long ago. Formerly 

 fields ^'played out" and bulbs 

 deteriorated after a time; 

 but by careful attention 

 and considerable expense a 

 better grade of seed bulbs 



was secured, from only the 

 healthiest plants, for new 

 crops, so that to-day the 

 Horseshoe Brand Giganteum 

 fields in Japan are by far the 

 finest lily fields anywhere in 

 the World. The seed bulbs 

 from these fields are of su- 

 perior quality to anything 

 ever produced, which is the 

 best kind of assurance to 

 our customers that our fu- 

 ture crops will always be of 

 the highest standard. You 

 need such lily bulbs in your 

 business, and we need your 

 orders, which means your 

 co-operation in the proper 

 maintenance of this high 

 standard of quality. Prices 

 reasonable — sent on request.
