THE BEST RED CARNATION 



RESULTS ARE WHAT COUNT! 



WINNER of the Silver Medal of the American Carnation Society, at Buffalo, 1915; also WINNER of the SAME 

 MEDAL in the same class at ST. LOUIS. 1916; also of Silver Medal of S. A. F. and 0. H., at St. Louis, 

 1910. It has never been beaten at any exhibition. The colbr is a most brilliant red. The size of the 

 flower is 3^ inches. Stems 24 to 36 inches long, strong and stiff. We vave never had a burst calyx, all flowers 

 grading firsts; and, best of all, it is a constant bloomer, giving a steady run of flowers equal in number to the En- 

 chantress 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. 



Booted 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.

THE THIRD EDITION 



OF THE 



Album of Designs 



(A Book Every Retailer Needs) 



'T'HE original Album of Designs was published in response to many 

 requests from florists who felt the need for an up-to-date book that 

 could be used in taking orders for Funeral Designs, Wedding Decorations 

 and Bouquets, Table Decorations and all cut flower work where it was not 

 practicable to ihow the customer the finished article as it would be when 

 ready for use. With the publication of this album it became possible to 

 sbow^ the flnlBlied Mrork in beautifully printed pictures. The first 

 edition sold like hot cakes, and a second edition went quickly. Now a 

 third edition is off the press. Everything is in it— all the standard 

 designs and many new^ and heretofore unpublished pieces. 



06 pasres, nearly 300 designs and decora- 



tions, beautifully printed on heavy glazed paper, 



handsomely bound in a cover that will stand wear
