We are making no ABSURD CLAIMS for the NEW CARNATION 



ROBERT CRAIG 



But are DELIVERING the FULL QUOTA OF CUTTINGS on ALL our CONTRACTS from now on. 



The most profitable Scarlet Carnation is in FULL CROP during the HOLIDAYS. 



Scarlet Carnations blooming in November and Early Spring and failing to produce abundant Christmas crops are 

 not the most profitable for the commercial worker. 



ROBERT CR..AIG produces a maximum crop of immense long stemmed blooms at Christmas 

 ^^ that sell at higher prices than any other Scarlet Carnation yet ottered on the 



market. It conmences blooming in September and continues in steady crop till July aud will produce 



A Larger Christmas Crop 



than any other Scarlet Carnation and equal the production of any other Scarlet variety, bloom for bloom, throughout the 

 season. It has regularly defeated all other Scarlet Carnations at the leading flower shows during the past two years 

 wherever it has been staged.
