MATCHLESS A GREAT SUCCESS 



This remarkable new white carnation has made goud every prediction that we made when we 

 disseminated it last year. 



Reports that come to us from all over the country are all to the effect that MATCHLESS, be- 

 cause of its vigorous constitution, freedom of growth, earliness and wonderful production, is the 

 greatest advance obtained in carnations in man}- years. 



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

 grower tip to November 1st had cut five flowers per plant and reports that his benches are now carry- 

 ing a large crop of the highest quality (jf blocjm. 



(Jur own experience with MATCHLESS during the four years we have been growing 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 gmwcr. These characteristics, together with the 

 high quality of flower and the fact that MATCHLESS is non-bursting, making it possible to utilize 

 10070 of the blooms, make MATCHLESS . me nf 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 de- 

 voted two houses entirely to stock plants and will be in pcjsition tn hll e\ery order that comes to us 

 with cuttings of the highest qualitv.
