HE LAUGHS BEST 

 who laughs last, is often the case 

 with lily bulb buyers, who make 

 price their sole argument in buy- 

 ing. The writer knows one of 

 this type — the genuine razor-back 

 variety — who always wanted 

 something for nothing, and for 

 that reason we could never sell 

 him bulbs. Last fall this man 

 bought some Multiflorum at a 

 low price, from a two-cylindered 

 salesman, who was silly enough 

 to guarantee them 85 per cent 

 true. Well, this florist was tickled 

 to death with his bargain — felt 

 just like the fellow who was 

 wrecked on a desert island with 

 the girl who had refused him the 

 night before. That was last fall. 

 Now, after the plants are grown, 

 this particular buyer feels about 

 the size of the nipple-end of a 

 lemon. Swears he won't pay for 

 the bulbs — though he will likely 

 be obliged to. Now, even if he 

 don't pay for the bulbs, where 

 will he get even on his time, labor, 

 expense and loss of business 

 profits? It has been a good dose 

 of business-medicine for him — 

 the kind that cures ; and he knows 

 it. He admits he was wrong — 

 thank goodness he's man enough 

 to admit it. Now, he has bought 

 Horseshoe Brand Giganteum for 

 fall 1913. No strings on the or- 

 der, no promises, and at stand- 

 ard prices. Our business is 

 largely lily bulbs — we have spent 

 years to get where we are today 

 in the business, and we endeavor 

 to deliver the goods instead of 

 promises. Write for prices and 

 the new Horseshoe Bulbology, 

 out in March.
