'INNER of tlie Silver Medal of the American Carnation Society, at Buffalo, 1915; also 

 WINNER of the SAME MEDAL in the same class at ST. LOUIS. 1916; First prize 

 at the Illinois State Fair, at Springfield, 111., September 22 and 23. It has never been beaten 

 at any exhibition. The color is a most brilliant red. The size of the flower is 31^ inches. 

 Stems 24 to 36 inches long, strong and stiff. We have never had a burst calyx, all flowers 

 grading firsts; and, best of all, if is a constant bloomer, giving a steady run of flowers equal 

 in number to the Enchantress family. It has a spicy odor, much greater than the average 

 Carnation. It comes in full flower by the 1st of December and then continues steadily 

 through the balance of the season. 



The color is the most brilliant red of any Carnation now in the market. We have 

 grown this variety for five years, it being one of our own seedlings, and we now have 

 30,000 plants benched in our greenhouses at Greggs, of which 12,000 are for the cut 

 flowers and 18,000 devoted to rooted cuttings. Rooted cuttings now ready for delivery. 



Price of the rooted cuttings is $32.00 per 100, $100.00 per 1000. We will bill 500 

 at the 1000 rate price. 



Every cutting guaranteed strong and well rooted. 



We have 1500 plants growing in our greenhouses at Hollywood, Cal., devoted exclusively 

 to rooted cuttings. 



Orders for Pacific Coast States will please be sent to our Western Branch, 

 care of E. B. Washburn, 252 South Orange Grove Avenue, Pasadena, Cal.
