DOUBLE YOUR CARNATION PROFITS- LAST CHANCE TO BUY 



Tbe trade bas certainly bought liberally of Carnation 

 Dorothy Gordon this winter and spring — orders fur rooted 

 cuttings have taxed our producing capacity nearly to the 

 limit, but we've proud of the stock we sent out, and judging 

 by their kind letters, our customers are pleased, too. And 

 next winter, when all those splendid plants come to bloom 

 and these florists begin to make money as they have never 

 before made it from carnations, they'll be still better satisfied. 



Have YOU delayed getting in your order for this mag- 



nificent new Carnation? If so, this advertisement Is addressed 

 tu you; we have just a few thousand more cuttings in the 

 sand for April 15th delivery, and when these are taken, no 

 more will be available till next winter. 



We urge you. if you want to double your carnation pro- 

 fits, not to delay; the merit of this splendid new variety has 

 been thnmughly proved, and the only possible loss you can 

 experience in the matter is to let this opportunity slip by and 

 stick to the old sorts you've been growing in the past. 



Carnation Dorothy Gordon 



has a splendid pedigree, a loug list of good qualities and au 

 enviable record of prizes and awards. It is a seedling of 

 Lawson on Enchantress, possessing tLe principal merits of 

 these varieties without their faults. It is vigorous in growth 

 and perfectly free from disease. Its flowers are a trifle darlser 

 than Pink Enchantress; they are borne in double the quantity 

 and are of exceptional size — averaging over 3 inches in diame- 

 ter. They are very fragrant and keep exceptionally well. The 

 market price paid for Carnation Dorothy Gordon is regularly 

 50 per cent more than that paid for Enchantress. 



From the very first, Dorothy Gordon has estaldished a 



JOSEPH HEACOCK COMPANY, Disseminators, 



splendid record as an exhibition variety. High awards were 

 fflven it at the meeting of the American Carnation Society in 

 ItiO.S and at the National Gardeners' Association meeting in 

 New York. This season it has attracted much attention and has 

 won further renown at the Pittsburg and Toronto meetings. 



In order to give the trade a fair opportunity to test It 

 thoroughly, we have from the first sold rooted cuttings at a 

 price which would get it established everywhere. This low figure 

 still prevails, and the remaining stock will be s<ild at these 

 prices : ?10 per 100 ; $75 per 1,000. No further offers this eeason.
