New Carnation 



COTTAGE 

 MAID 



A Sport of Mrs. C. W.Ward 



Cottage Maid cleans up at 

 St. Louis besides winning 

 first in its class. This 

 Queen of novelties won the 

 Sweepstakes for the best 

 vase in the show. 



The public here in New York is crazy over the color of this beauti- 

 ful new carnation! It is a clear shell pink, deep in the center and 

 lighter toward the edge. It is a color your trade demands. 



Its plant is identical with its well known and widely grown parent 

 "Mrs. C. W. Ward" and it has the same wonderful keeping and ship- 

 ping qualities as this variety. In fact at the Cleveland Show this fall, 

 Cottage Maid" besides the first prize in its class, won the prize for 

 the vase of carnations in the best condition at the end of the Show. 

 And these flowers were shipped from New York. 



We have grown this variety for six ^-ears and tried it out thor- 

 oughly. It is not our policy to let buyers of our novelties do the 

 experimenting. 



We believe in "Cottage Maid" and we are going to back up our 

 belief by planting 50,000 of it next year for blooms besides the stock 

 plants. 



It will be sent out next winter. Send in 3'Our order early. 



And keep your eye on "Cr\^stal White," our sensational pure 

 white, which is larger and more productive than "Matchless." It 

 will probably be disseminated in 1917-18.
