The American Carnation Society 

 meets in Cliicago Feb. ITtli ami ISth. 

 AVe are glad of it. tor, if there is an.v- 

 thing new and we can get it, we want 

 it for our trade. Some member of our 

 tirm will be there all the time and 

 growers wishing to send stock to this 

 market will find it to their advantage 

 to see us before making arrangements. 

 This also applies to the buyers, for al- 

 though there is no doubt that the car- 

 nation plant growers will show T.ne 

 blooms to catch the growers and sell 

 his cuttings, so we also show every day 

 the greatest supply of carnations of 

 any firm in the West. The difference 

 between us and the plant grower is that 

 we sell the cut blooms of the best com- 

 mercial varieties at prices that are 

 right. You know what you can do with 

 the blooms when you get them, but see 

 if you can produce from the cuttings as 

 tine blooms as those shown at the ex- 

 hibition of the Carnation Society. We 

 think not. 



The daily supply from our many 

 growers keeps us in shape to supply 

 your wants and we want to supply 

 them. Please do not forget that we 

 have been more than fifteen years in 

 the commission line, and. therefore. 

 know what the trade wants. We can fill 

 your orders for carnations, roses, bulb 

 stock or anything else that grows. We 

 are on top, and to stay there means 

 to fill orders as we receive them with 

 stock such as we know the trade wants. 



At least consult us liefore you buy 

 anything and before you sell, if you are 

 a shipper.
