There is at present no thoroughly satisfactory scarlet carna- 

 tion. We believe we have such a variety in Aviator and we have 

 decided to disseminate it, beginning delivery January 1, 1916. 



THIS IS THE FIRST TIME A NEW CARNATION HAS BEEN SENT OUT BY US SINCE 



WE INTRODUCED ENCHANTRESS, AND TOU MAY BE SURE WE ARE CONFIDENT 



. IT*S GOOD OR WE WOULD NOT PUT OUR NAME AND REPUTATION BACK OF IT. 



DESCRIPTION— Parents, red sport of Maoeo and red seedling. Color, intense scarlet, ^rery bright. Stem, thin, wiry 

 and stiff. Flowers, fine, full and nicely fringed. Habit, clean; upright growth; every break makes a rapid advance, pro- 

 ducing a profusion of fine flowers in a very short time. The most prolific carnation ever offered to the trade, barring none. 

 No disease, no grass, easy to propagate. There are larger reds offered, but Aviator will outbloom them 3 to 1. We have 

 plants of Aviator on which we can count 24 buds for the first crop and the houses easily average 15 buds per plant. 



WE HAVE PLANTED 40,000 AVIATOR 



One house is to be devoted exclusively to the production of cuttings. The other houses 



are to produce blooms. INSPECTION INVITED. 



At the Illinois State Fair, Springfield. September 21 to 23, on 11 entries we tack's first prizes, 

 2 second prizes, 1 third prize. If you want first-class cut carnation blooms, order of us.

 Under these circumstances he was not 

 required to actually produce the money, 

 either at the office or at the nursery, in 

 order to make his demand effectual."

Houston, Tex. — As the election to the 

 vice-presidency for 1916 carries with it 

 a seat on the board of directors of the 

 8. A. P., R. C. Kerr has tendered his 

 resignation as a director, to which place 

 he was appointed last January, to take 

 effect January 1. This will give the 

 incoming president three directorships 

 to distribute unless the president for 

 1915 takes prior action.
