CARNATION WINSOR 



We have not advertised Wlnsor until now because we have not had to. It is so good and its merits have 

 bpen so generally recognized that it has practically sold itself. Our advance orders were very large, and we did 

 not feel the necessity of advertising it until we were in a position to fill and take care of our early orders. We 

 are now nearly caught up with our advance crders and have a fine lot of stock on the cutting bench, so that we 

 can promise, for the present prompt delivery on orders received within a sliort time at least 



If you have not already purchased a siock of this, you should lose no time doing so. We are going to sell 

 more Winsor than has ever been sold of any novelty that has ever been put on the market. Its merits and value 

 are now so well established that one is not buying a chance. We are cutting and shipping right along between 

 one and two thousand flowers a day to the New York market, where our flowers are sold. 



There is nothing on the market that approaches Winsor to-day in carnations. It is the best seller on the 

 market, on account of its lovely color, fine stem, perfect calyx, and fine keeping and shipping qualities — in fact, in 

 this regard it covers every necessary requisite as a market variety. 



From a growing standpoint, it leaves little to be desired. It is usually healthy, very vigorous and pro- 

 ductive, and, we think, the most profitable carnation ever introduced. This may seem high praise for a carna- 

 tion, but it is no exaggeration. Winsor gives a large percentage of high-quality flowers. It practically does not 

 split at all. Notwithstanding the fact that we have had the darkest, dullest winter we have ever had, when the 

 Enchantress and Lawson types are splitting badly all over the country with every one, we have not had one-halt 

 of one per cent, of split calyxes on Winsor — in fact, we seldom see a split calyx. Hundreds of visitors who have 

 been at our Scarborough place will substantiate this statement, extravagant as it may appear. 



Any one who fails to plant Winsor this year will regret it. Rose Pink Enchantress is good, and a good 

 many other varieties are good, but if you want the winner, plant Winsor. 



We not only have a good thing in Winsor, but we are delivering good stock. As a sample of the testi- 

 monials that we are receiving, see this space in last issue. We are trying to give 110 cents on the dollar, and 

 guarantee to please everybody with the stock sent out. or we will not ask you to pay for it. We have still to re- 

 ceive cur first complaint, and we have shipped between one and two hundred thousand cuttings to date.
