best return and that these have yielded 

 no nfore than one-third to one-half a 

 crop. Parsley, turnip, parsnip, cauli- 

 flower, cabbages, kohlrabi and endive 

 have given not over one-fourth of a 

 full crop. Carrot, beet, onion, leek, 

 celery and cucumber have done even 

 worse, but beans and peas were almost 

 a total failure, the latter in soine cases 

 not returning the stock seed. The same 

 story has to be told of the flower seeds 

 grown in the open at Quedlinburg. Some 

 of the more delicate annuals failed 

 entirely, while such important crops as 

 nasturtiums, asters, zinnias and ver- 

 benas are only a small fraction of a full 

 yield. Petunias, sweet alyssum, candy- 

 tuft and marigold did a little better. 

 Pansy, mignonette and stocks are possi- 

 bly half a crop. Biennials and peren- 

 nials in general are estimated by some 

 as high as half a crop. 



At Erfurt not quite so discouraging 

 a story is told, though it is said that the 

 only really satisfactory crop is lettuce. 

 Badish is a fair crop, but spinach is 

 considerably below the average. Cauli- 

 flower and parsnip have done fairly 

 well. Peas, of course, are away short. 

 Turnip has yielded poorly. Among the 

 biennials the shortage of plants for next 

 year's crop is affording alarm. The 

 aster is an important specialty with 

 many growers at Erfurt and has been 

 decidedly disappointing.

The ^orld hates a quitter. 

 So long as you won't ac- 

 knowledge it, you haven't 

 failed. A bee doesn't tftop 

 making honey just because 

 he gets a bitter taste in his 

 mouth from one flower — he 

 goes right on to another. 

 You wouldn't quit business 

 if one of your customers 

 failed to pay you — hardly — 

 you would work all the 

 harder and swallow the ex- 

 perience. There are times 

 when we all get "stung," 

 which is the modern way of 

 putting it; but if you look 



carefully at it, the fault's 

 your own about 90% of the 

 time. Same with a lily 

 grower. No doubt it is very 

 discouraging to spend all your 

 time, heat, labor and care on 

 a lot of lily bulbs and have 

 them "turn bad"; but if every 

 one could grow lilies success- 

 fully, where would the value 

 be? Try, try, try again, but 

 before you try twice, be sure 

 that you have the best bulbs 

 to start with. There are no 

 better lily bulbs produced 

 than Horseshoe Brand bulbs, 

 and if you have them, half of 

 your troubles are over to be- 

 gin with; the risk connected 

 with the other half can be 

 easily overcome if you take 

 care of your plants and learn 

 how a lily bulb should be 

 handled.
