Aristocrat" 



? 



Announcement. 





We herewith confirm the reports, so far as our purchasing the above carnation is concerned. We intend to 

 disseminate same January ist, 1907. We do not think it necessary at this time to commence boasting of its good 

 qualities and commercial value that has been proven and will be proven again to your satisfaction. 



We are now soliciting orders for January delivery and while we do not make a specialty of booking orders 

 subject to cancellation we believe that to cancel is everyones right, if a variety does not live up to its reputation 

 and we respect it if done right and honorably. Orders are already coming in heavily and we strongly advise your 

 placing orders immediately as January bookings will soon be closed. 



"Aristocrat" is O. K. and you will not be able to help yourself from buying it later, so place order now as 

 we shall not over book ourselves on it, as we must make good and that is one of our reasons for securing it.

 Enchantress, more wirey and more free. Produces cuttings freely which root easily. Has no disease of any de- 

 scription. Size, as large as Enchantress but form more perfect than any other carnation.

Announcement 



To the Trade 



We beg to announce that we have pur- 

 chased the property and business of the 

 L. K. PEACOCK, Inc., including the 

 entire stock of the Peacock Dahlias, and 

 will continue the business on a more ex- 

 tensive scale. 



We have secured the services of Mr. 

 L. K. Peacock and all the experts who 

 have been associated with him. Mr. 

 Peacock has been identified with the trade 

 for the past twenty years, and during that 

 period has produced such noted varieties 

 as Nymphaea, Clifford W. Knit on. 

 William Agnew, Hiss nay Lomas, 

 Storm King, Snow Clad and over 

 fifty other standard varieties, not to men- 

 tion the Twentieth Century and the sub- 

 sequent Century collections. 



The past season was a most favorable 

 one for Dahlias, and as every plant 

 bloomed freely we offer our stock as the 

 best grown, and absolutely true to name. 



We are prepared to fill all orders 

 promptly and are now booking contracts 

 for 1907. 



Our 1906 Catalogue will be ready for 

 distribution early in February, and will be 

 mailed to each of our customers and others 

 upon application.
