What every Carnation grtower really needs is a 

 true Rose-pink Carnation. The Philadelphia Pink is 

 the one. When we say that 



PHILADELPHIA 



is the ideal rose-pink Carnation in every respect (color, 

 productiveness, size of bloom, non-splitting calyx, length of 

 stem, etc.), we state the plain, unvarnished truth. Mr. W. 

 Wells, the noted horticulturist of England, has 1000 "Phila- 

 delphia" on his place, and in a letter received on the 29th of 

 October, he writes us as follows: 



"They are doing extremely well. The petals push clear out 

 of the calyx, so that they won't split. It is the prettiest 

 pink we have, and altogether I like it the best of any pink." 



But we do not want you to take our word for it. Inves- 

 tigate for yourself, before you place the order. We want 

 you to see It growing. Come to Detroit at any time 

 during the season, and see for yourself about thirty-live 

 thousand plants— as clean, as vigorous, and as perfect as 

 any you ever had the good fortune to have on your own 

 place. 



PHILADELPHIA is a producer superior to many 

 and second to none. Its color is of that shade of rose- 

 pink which sells at sight and which your average lady custo- 

 mer would designate as "perfectly lovely." 



Place your order early to insure early delivery and 

 remember that you reserve the right to cancel it if 

 upon seeing the Philadelphia growing you conclude it is not 

 up to your expectations.
