?>liainL Gi Lt,-nwt_iuLl. ill. 

 MR. FRED BREITMEYER, 

 Mt. Clemens, Mich., 

 Dear Sir;— In reply to yours for our experi- 

 ence of Cerise Queen, will say that under our 

 treatment the color, form and substance is all 

 that can be desired; we have also found it a 

 very free and continuous bloomer and have 

 never found a bursted calyx the whole season: 

 it is a little weak in the stem, but we lay 

 that to the poor place in which it is growing. 

 also we think one should be careful and not 

 overfeed it. as it does not need it. but pro- 

 duce.s a fine ilower under ordinary care. 



Yours truly. C. W. JOHNSON.

 Gents;— We have a few plants of your No. 16, 

 Ceri.se Queen, on trial; the flower is medium 

 size, but fine color, in fact the only fault we 

 find is its dwarf habit; we should like to grow 

 some fiir side benches, as we believe it far 

 superior to Tidal Wave for that purpose, and 

 shnuld make a commercial variety, but not 

 high priced. Please give us your best price 

 on 111(0 rooted cuttings. 



Very truly yours.

 J. BREITMEYER & SONS, 

 Mt. Clemens, Mich., 

 Dear Sirs;— In reply to yours asking as t<>- 

 my success with your No. 16. Cerise Queen, 

 will say that I consider it the ideal Carnation 

 of its type, very productive, continuous, stiff 

 stem, of medium length, and holds its color 

 longer on the plant than any Tidal Wave ever 

 grown. I shall plant a house of it. if I am 

 able to procure the stock. 



Yours, GEO. A. RACKHAM.
