MR. CARNATION GROWER: 



Do you appreciate a valued carnation when you see it ? 



Well, go to the Horticultural Hall on February 27th or 28th at 

 Boston and look at my NEW VARIEGATED CARNATION 

 MRS. PFEUFFER. 



It is a money-maker, never bursts ; flowers throughout the season, 

 heaviest crop during December and January ; a standard keeper and 

 not inclined to disease, sells on sight ; in total it has all good quali- 

 ties a carnation for the commercial man should have and I can 

 prove it as my grower, Mr. John Pfeuffer of Irvington, N. J., has it 

 since 4 years and its vitality grows every year.

If you have anything in horticultural 

 goods to sell vou can't ignore this ter-
