f^ ^^g^^x^/g£\^/£\ I ^\gr£l The Peer of All Light Pink Carnations. 

 UCnCVICVe LOrU what Experts mink of the Blooms. 



Speaking from a dollar and cent standpoint tlie al)ovc is literally true. 

 There may be some larj^er. l)ut when |iut to the test of an exacting commer- 

 cial tire, none will stand the test and bring in the returns like (Jenevicvc 

 Lortl. Its color is the kind that sells at sight. Stem the best of any carna- 

 tion. A [lerfect, non-bursting calyx. Heauliful distinct form. In fact it has 

 nearly everytliing that is wanted in a pink carnation. Cvistomers recogni/e 

 it at a glance, describing it as "that beautiful pink on thi- long stem." 



Prompt delivery after April loth. .Stock all sold prior to that date. 



What Growers Think of the Cuttings.

Tour Genevieve T.<ord cuttings arc tlio finest 

 I have ever received of a new variety. If 

 all others were as poikI I would have no kick 

 coming.— Geo. R. Geiger^ Nazareth, Pa. 



The best carnation cuttings (Genevieve Lord) 

 I ever received.— A. Herrington, Madison, 

 N. J. 



Genevieve Lord cuttings arrived safely, none 

 the worse for their long journey. — J. Gam- 

 mage & Sons, London, Ont. 



Carnation cuttings received. Thsy are ex- 

 tra fine, especially the Genevieve Lord. If 1 

 can only grow them as well as they look, I 

 win be satisfied. Next time I want good 

 stock I will know where to Fend.— \V. H. 

 Vance, Wilmington, Del. 



Justice as well as gratitude demands my 

 Informing' you that the carnation cuttings ar- 

 rived the Ifith inst., proving most satisfac- 

 tory in every respect. I have yet to see as 

 fine, healthy a lot of plants anywhere as these, 

 and you have insured my future orders, so 

 long as you continue to send out this high 

 grade of plants. These cuttings are so far su- 

 perior to those received front other growers 

 that comparison can hardly be made ; they 

 are in a different class altogether.— James L.

JJear Sirs: We have handled your new car- 

 nation, Genevieve Lord, for the pawt year, and 

 beg to state that it Is one of the finest car- 

 nations wo have ever handled. It has be- 

 come very popular here In Washington, its 

 beautiful color making It a ready seller. To- 

 gether with color, its most distinct points 

 are Us extra long stenis and prfrfect. erect 

 habit. It has a marke<l Individuality, en- 

 abling customers to recogni/e U at a glance. 

 It Is one of the few new carnations that have 

 so many good jtoints, :ind we feel satisfied ihat 

 It has a great future before it. It is some 

 Uttlc trouble to educate people up to paying 

 ?.1 and J4 per dozen f<ir carnations, but If any 

 carnation will bring the price, it Is Genevieve 

 Lord. Ynurs very truly.

Gentb-nu-n: I want to congratulat; you on 

 bting the introducers of Genevieve Lord, your 

 new pink carnation. Although I have not 

 seen it growing, 1 have seen it exhibited at 

 nearly all seasons of the year, and. taking all 

 its good qualities into consideration. I believe 

 it to be the best pink of its class In the mar- 

 ket to-day. It is strictly a commercial flower, 

 and will prcKluce the dollars and cents. I pre- 

 dict for you a phenomenal sale of this car- 

 nation. Yours very truly,

JJear Sirs: In regard to what I think of 

 Genevieve Lord, and what I heard spoken about 

 it at the meeting is this: Color just right 

 and what is wanted, and will sell. Shape and 

 size as good, if not better, than any carna- 

 tion ever sent out. Very sweet. Stems the 

 best ever seen on any carnation ever sent out. 

 In keeping and shipping qualities it beats 

 any carnation that I have ever setn. I men- 

 tioned last time In my letter to you that they 

 looked as fresh as if they had just been cut. 

 Yours very truly,
