MATCHLESS 



A GREAT SUCCESS 



This remarkable new wliite carnation has made good every prediction that we 

 made when we disseminated it last year. 



Reports that come to us from all over the country are ?11 to the effect that 

 MATCHLESS, because of its vigorous constitution, freedom of growth, earliness and 

 wonderful production, is the greatest advance obtained in carnations in many years. 



Many of the growers commenced cutting high-class flowers as early as Aug. 20th. 

 One large grower up to November 1st had cut five flowers per plant and reports that 

 his benches are now carrying a large crop of the highest quality of bloom. 



Our own e.xperience with MATCHLESS during the four years we have been grow- 

 ing it for the New York market, has proved to us that MATCHLESS is as productive as 

 any existing variety and can be grown to perfection by the ordinary grower. These 

 characteristics, together with the high quality of flower and the fact that MATCHLESS 

 is non-bursting, making it possible to market 100% of the blooms, make MATCHLESS 

 one of the most profitable varieties to grow. 



Consensus of opinion is that MATCHLESS has taken its place as the leading white 

 carnation in all respects.. 



Recognizing that there will be an enormous demand for MATCHLESS this year, 

 we have devoted two houses entirely to stock plants and will be in position to fill every 

 order that comes to us with cuttings of the highest quality.

rs. C. W. WARD 



The Standard Dark Pink 



Since we disseminated MRS. C. W. WARD in 1909. every year has added to its 

 popularity and today it stands easily at the top of the list in its color. Its high quality 

 of bloom and wonderful keejiing qualities have become a byword with the trade. 



Owing to the increasing demands made upon us for stock of this variety, with 

 which we have often heretofore been unable to keep pace, we have planted more WARD 

 than ever this year and have also improved our propagating facilities so that we are now 

 in iKjsition to care for a largely increased trade.
