SEEDS 



There are many more liars than thcro 

 are thieves, and it's a question whi.^h 

 is society's worst enemy. Insurance 

 against dishonesty is as common as 

 against burglary, and insurance com- 

 panies stake their business on the high 

 estimate that their risks are 98 per cont 

 honest. Did you know that? And the 

 profits of their business prove it cor- 

 rect. Now, there is no insurance against 

 lying that we know of, and we presume 

 if there were the rate would be very 

 high. There are three kinds of lies — 

 the petit lie or deceit, practiced largely 

 upon children; the lie to promote a good 

 cause, such as a doctor sometimes tells 

 his patients, and the deliberate lie, told 

 largely for mercenary or selfish reasons. 

 The deliberate lie embodies all that is 

 dishonorable and cowardly. The de- 

 liberate liar is far worse than a thief, 

 because there is honor even among 

 thieves. You can trust a thief, but you 

 can never trust a liar; besides, most 

 liars will steal, and do steal. by their 

 lies — that is, they lie for their personal 

 gain or to promote a loss to some other 

 person or persons. We have record of 

 some liars in the florist business, too — 

 have known more than one to cancel 

 their order, backing up the cancella 

 tion with a deliberate lie. They are the 

 most miserable, dishonorable, disgust- 

 ing morsels of humanity that we have 

 to deal with. Some day we shall prob- 

 ably publish a little booklet, entitled, 

 "What Other People Say to Us and 

 About Us." This will include a few 

 choice messages which some competitors 

 have indulged in — the knocking class. 

 A knocker is as bad as a liar, only he 

 generally gets most of the dirt him 

 self. Of course, usually he is a busi- 

 ness degenerate, sore and distressed, 

 pus-bellied and rotten to the core. The 

 knock he sends forth is caused by an 

 overload of pus in the brain, for any 

 sensible man would be more careful. 

 All those who belong to the liar class 

 (which includes the knocker) we want 

 nothing to do with, because nothing 

 good will ever come from them. We 

 want to do business with good people, 

 upright, fair-minded and gentlemen. 

 We don't mind it if a man gets huflfy 

 occasionally, for that is good for one — 

 in fact, a little sauce is good for the 

 gravy, but we like men who are honest 

 in their intentions. If you belong to 

 the good class, and want some good 

 bulbs, especially lily bulbs and French 

 bulbs, write us. Send for the Book of 

 Bulbology, which contains prices.
