K ■ \*^*8 Haetshornk, Joliet, III. Dear Friend:— I returned from Chicago via La Fayette, and had the pleasure of viewing "Fiancee" as 

 grown by Mr. Domer. My good opinion of the variety was more than ever confirmed and I think you have made a great strike in getting control 

 oi una carnation. It certainly looks a good thing from every point of view. Yours truly, [Signed] Thk E. Q. Hill Co. 



Richmond, Ind., Dec. 8, 1902.— The writer wishes to add her congratulations upon your having secured "Fiancee." It certainly it a wonder.

THE RIGHT KIND at the right price, and last but not 

 least — WELL-RIPENED STOCK. 



We do not expect our growers to rush the season, contrary- 

 caution them not to dig before the bulbs are thoroughly 

 ripened. They mature much better in the field than in 

 the boxes or pots. This is one reason why 



RARNXRD'S LILIES ARE THE BEST.
