Peerless Pink 



The Best and Most Prolific Carnation for You to Grow 



Compare this record with other new and standard varieties. From 2,000 plants we cut 14,092 per- 

 fect flowers from September 1 to January 1, an average of seven blooms per plant first four months. 

 Early bloomer, easy to handle, grows quickly, producing an abundance of perfect flowers which are the 

 Best Keepers and Shippers. Your customers like a good dark pink carnation today and demand it, 

 but you are not able to fill the demand as there has not been a good dark pink heretofore. Therefore 

 grow Peerless Pink and keep your customers pleased. Rooted cuttings ready now. |12.00 per 100, 

 $100 per 1000. 



The Herald, Scarlet, three years the best scarlet at the Flower Shows. The Herald is making 

 good with 95 per cent, of the growers who bought it last year. Rooted cuttings ready. $6.00 per 100, 

 $50 per 1000.

OUR 

 CARNATION 



Prince Edward 



Has been grown here for five years. It is 

 a cross between Beacon x Prosperity seed- 

 ling. A very healthy free bloomer from 

 Thanksgiving on; also a non-splitter. Out 

 of 2000 plants we have not had 25 splits; 

 also an excellent keeper, and can recom- 

 mend it as a most profitable variety.
