The Florists' Review 



69 



A bull trader, at the end of a bear day, tried 

 a fifty cent "regular" dinner in New York, and 

 was astonished to find it quite palatable. He 

 said to the proprietor, as he paid his bill, "That 

 was really a very good dinner; I don't see how 

 you can give it for the money." The proprietor 

 looked sad as he replied: "Oh, well, you know, 

 accidents will happen." The florist occasionally 

 nuay be astonished to find that a lot of low- 

 priced lily bulbs turn out very good — accidents 

 will happen. Horseshoe Brand Bulbs never 

 "happen" to be reliable — they are reliable by 

 nature, with a uniformity of excellent quality, 

 which costs money to produce and saves you 

 money to buy. The hardy Japanese liliums, 

 such as Auratum, Magnificum (the improved 

 Rubrum) and Album, are a most excellent ad- 

 junct to the progressive retail store, and in the 

 proper season add. greatly to that variety of 

 refinement in flowers so attractive to flower- 

 lovers. In bulbs of this kind, the largest and 

 highest priced bulbs always pay the best if 

 properly grown, and there is nothing more hand- 

 some than a fine large plant of Speciosum Lilies 

 or Auratum, with many flowers. Mammoth 

 bulbs must be ordered about a season in ad- 

 vance. We give below what we have to oflfer 

 for delivery now, or during 1913; and also a list 

 of Horseshoe Brand Giganteum — the best cold
