The Florists' Review 



93 



Every florist store is as incomplete without 

 lilies as a grocery store would be without coffee. 

 Horseshoe Brand Cold Storage Giganteum will 

 force comparatively easy in from 12 to 14 weeks, 

 and no good excuse can be given for not having 

 lilies. Some of your customers will surely want 

 them sooner or later, and if you don't have what 

 they want they will go elsewhere the next time 

 to get it. And could you have any flowers in 

 your store more useful than good, pure white 

 lilies? Is there anything better for funeral 

 designs? Won't they go further in making up 

 than most any other flowers ? And for weddings 

 — are there any flowers more appropriate than 

 lilies? Then for general all around purposes, 

 isn't it good policy to have lilies on hand at all 

 times? There's another thing about Cold Stor- 

 age lilies that's often lost sight of, and that is 

 you always know well in advance just about* 

 what time your crop will be in flower. Good 

 lilies will keep for several weeks, too, and it is 

 not necessary to use them all up at once. All 

 the above applies to good lilies — they must be 

 of good quality to be money-makers for you.

There is a difference in bulbs just as there is 

 in nearly all products of the earth. This differ- 

 ence is just what prompts this advertisement — 

 and if you don't buy Horseshoe Brand Cold 

 Storage Giganteum, we both lose — we lose a 

 certain margin of profit and you lose a certain 

 margin of flowers. Don't wait — send now for 

 the Horseshoe Brand Planting Table for Cold 

 Storage bulbs — the prices are all the same — no 

 favorites. Full instructions given for forcing.
