MATCHLESS 



A Great Success 



This remarkable new white carnation has made good every prediction that we 

 made when we disseminated it last year. 



Reports that come to us from all over the country are all to the effect that 

 MATCHLESS, because of its vigorous constitution, freedom of growth, earliness and 

 woiideiful production, is the greatest advance obtained in carnations in many years. 



Many of the growers commenced cutting high-class flowers as early as August 

 20th. One large grower up to November 1st had cut five flowers per plant and reports 

 that his benches are now carrying a large crop of the highest quality of bloom. 



Our own experience with BIATCHIiESS during the four years we have been 

 grow;ing it for the New York market, has proved to us that MATCHLESS is as pro- 

 ductive as any existing variety and can be grown to perfection by the ordinary grower. 

 These characteristics, together with the high quality of flower and the fact that 

 MATCHLESS is non-bursting, making it possible to market 100% of the blooms, 

 make MATCHLESS one of the most profitable varieties to grow. 



Consensus of opinion is that MATCHLESS has taken its place as the leading 

 white carnation in all respects. 



Recognizing that there will be an enormous demand for MATCHLESS this 

 year, we have devoted two houses entirely to stock plants and will be in position to 

 fill every order that comes to us with cuttings of the highest quality.

Mrs. C. W. Ward 



The Standard Dark Pink 



Since we disseminated MRS. C. W. WARD in 1909. every year has added 

 to its popularity and today it stands easily at the top of the list in its color. Its high 

 quality of bloom and wonderful keeping qualities have become a byword with the trade. 



Owing to the increasing demands made upon us for stock of this variety, with 

 which we have often heretofore been unable to keep pace, we have planted more 

 WARD than ever this year and have also improved our propagating facilities so that 

 we are now in position to care for a largely increased trade.
