Carnation Cuttings 



FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION: 



Is it profitable to purchase cheap stock? Our experience has taught us that 

 you very rarely get a bargain in cheap cuttings or plants. 



We refuse positively to handle the cheaper grades. Our contracts are placed this year with the very 

 best growers in the country, each a specialist in his particular line. 



The quality is right. The packing is right, and, above all, the prices are right, and you 

 have our absolute guarantee with every order sent out.

fine lot of promising seedlings, on a bed 

 given over to this class of plants only. 

 An attractive sight is a bed of the new, 

 wine-colored carnation, Rufus; another 

 seedling, of a pleasing shade of salmon 

 pink, at present is in heavy flower. 

 Last and most important is a bed of 

 Merry Christmas, a bright, gorgeous red. 

 Another point of interest is the new 

 propagating house. The benches are 



wholly of tile construction, with plenty 

 of bottom heat, well shaded and well 

 ventilated. 



John Kilcoyne, formerly of Paducah, 

 Ky., is making good with the A. 

 Wiegand's Sons Co. Bert Johanney is 

 back in the harness again. 



Harry Pahud has been ill for several 

 days. 



The Circle Flower Store had an elabo- 



rate decoration for the Indianapolis 

 Club New Year's eve. This store fur- 

 nished the decoration for one of the 

 largest parties of the season, given at 

 the Woodstock Club. 



The Bertermann Bros. Co. has fin- 

 ished cutting the last of its chrvsanthe- 

 mums, which were good up to the last. 

 It is following this crop with snap- 

 dragons.
