The Weekly Florists' Review^ 



March 20. 1902 



Mrs. Potter Palmer 



SCARLET. 



CCffifiCStcd ^' Indianapolis; Chicago Florists' Club; St. Louis; Montreal; Chicago Horticultural Society; 



Kansas City Flower Show, and as we are showing it at different Florists' Clubs throughout 



the country, at the present time, it is CREATING a most favorable impression. We could print dozens of letters from 

 secretaries of Clubs and others telling us of the fine condition in which they arrived and iCONGRATULiATING us on 

 having such a fine scarlet carnation. 



MR. JOHN niANGEL, perhaps the largest retail tiorist in Chicago, says it is the FINEST CARNATION 

 that ever came in his store. I-fe is paying us double the price for it that he pays for the best LAWSONS in the Chicago 

 market. Irlowever, our claim for it is as a free bloomer; we have been cutting from it since last September and the 

 plants at the present time are LOADED with BUDS AND FLOWERS, hundreds of them bearing twenty-five to 

 thirty-five stems. It is our best SHIPPER, brings best PRICE, best SELLER, best BLOOMER of any scarlet we 

 ever grew. If others can grow it as we do it will be a young GOLDMINE to them; we shall let them know how to do 

 it. Place your orders now as they are going fast. Price $13.00 per loo; $100.00 per looo. 



MRS. fflGINBOTHM 



LIGHT PINK. 



f^P|>f jlJQgf oH at Indianapolis; Chicago; KansasCity; St. Louis; is the best carnation of any in the Fall; 



is as good as any after; sells on sight, color and stem a;id fragrance are PERFECT; des- 



lined to become the STANDARD light pink. 40,000 sold in six weeks, mostly to florists who have seen it growing. 

 We were obliged to cut down nearly all our plants to get ENOUGH cuttings for the demand, of course this took the 

 strength from the flowers, which are not (juite as large now as they were about Christmas, but we have FILLED all our 

 orders and have another batch of fine stock READ'Jf. It will become the standard SUMMER BLOOMER for pink, 

 flon't wait until Fall, buy now. $12.00 per too; $100.00 per lOoo.

Prosperity. ^: 



Large white, slightly penciled with pink, 

 this also has been certificated at various 

 places and is more profitable than any 

 standard carnation on our place; has a better consti- 

 tution; never splits; has more fragrance. As it is 

 not an extra fancy we are offering it at a reduced 

 rate, viz.: $6.00 per too; $50.00 per looo. 



White, the greatest producer, the 

 best stem and the best shipper; 

 finest form and most profitable 



white carnation on the market to-day. $4.00 per loo; 



$30.00 per looo.
