RED SPROT 



OF MACEO 



The NEW "BREAD and BUHER" 

 Brilliant Red Oomnierclal Carnation 



WHST SOME OTHER PEOPLE SAY ABOUT ITs 



Washington D. O. December 19, 1904. 

 12i4 P. Street, N. W. 

 A. B. Davis & Son, PurcellvIHe, Va. 



Okntlkm in:- Please make our order for rooted cuttings of BBD 

 8POBT 2ui0 instead of 1000. 



The blooms you sent in today were certainly very fine. We 

 bave been watcbing tbis promising new red for tbree years and tbe 

 more we see of it and tbe longer we sell it over tbe counter the 

 better we like it. 



We do not make a practice of going in very strong on tbe new va- 

 rieties the flrf't year they are sent out, but after seeing BSD BPOBT 

 prowing and blooming at yr ur place last Tuesday, we are convinced 

 it is a gieat Christmas carnation, and an all around money maker, 

 and we wish to increase our order as stated above. 



Yours very truly. A. QUDE & BRO. 



Cbicaoo, Fxbbuabt 8, 1904. 

 A. B. Davis & Son, Purcellville. Va 



Gentlsmin: -Tour letter and SBD SPOBT of Maceo came 

 to band Friday. We waited to see bow carnations would keep 

 before writing you. 



Tbe color and keeping qualities are tbe best and if it blooms 

 as freely as Maceo it is a good one. Very respectfully yours. 



BASSETT & WASHBURN.

 A. B. Davis & Son, Purcelivl le. Va. 



DxAB SiBS:— Tours 12tb at hand and I will be glad to include 

 yourBBD SPOaTof Maceo in our list and believe it will meet 

 witb good sale. Tou may book my order for 2600 of them to start 

 wltb. I tbink you bave a good thing and congratulate yon. 



Very truly. WM. 8WAYNE, 



WHAT WE HAVE TO SXY ABOUT RED SPORT: 



Tbis new "Bread and Butter" commercial brilliant Red Carnation, now in its fourth year, has the bardy constitution of Gen. Maceo, 

 witb a stronger heavier growth, longer and stiffer stem ann larger flower. Growing under the same conditions and in tbe same bouse with 

 Flamingo and E>-telle, it has produced four times as many flowers as tbe former and twice as many as tbe latter. Tbe color is as good as 

 Estelle and tbe bloom briugs as much as does Estelle at its best. Every flower is of a imiform, brilliant red, perfectly double, with an ideal 

 calyx: in fact we bave never seen a split one. 



BED SPOBT is perfectly healthy, an easy variety to grow, an early and continuous bloomer, throwing its heaviest cuts around the 

 Cbrifetoias Holidays and during the winter months, when red is in demand. BED 8FOBT will keep longer and travel farther than any other 

 red carnation and will prove a bonanza to growers doing a shipping business. If tbe scarcity of reds in the market that now exists continues, 

 BBO SPOBT will pay better to tbe square foot of bench room than any otber variety of any color to date. 



Every florist who has seen RED SPORT growing has placed an order for rooted cuttings, which tells the tale. 



All our rroted cuttings are sold until January 25. Orders filled in strict rotation from above date on. Prices, 12 for $).50; 

 25 for $2^ 50 for $4 Oj postpaid. $6.00 per iOO; $50.00 per 1000 by expren. We guarantee cuttings to be well rooted and 

 to arrive in good cotdition.
