THE PRIDE OF 

 CALIFORNIA 



HANNAH HOBART 



The g^rand prize Thinner in competition 'with the latest and very 

 best products in Carnations, east or w^est, for the last eight years. 



Mr. John A. Balmer. of Olealum. WasblDEton, after bli visit to our nuraeries in JanuarT, 1902. wrote an article for a trade paper in wbich 

 be said: "The Hannah Hobart Is really a remarkable flower, never less tban four inches, and frequently four and one-half inches across. 

 In color it is a shade deeper tban Lawson, but the petal arrangement is quite different, in this respect it most resembles the old Jubilee, but of 

 course the color is diflerent. I saw two large houses of it at Sieverh', and the sight is one long to be remembered, hundreds of blooms and not a 

 poor one in the lot, and everyone the exact counterpart of the other, no burst calyxes, but every flower supported on a 21-inch stem, and stand- 

 ing up like soldiers. There is certainly no carnation of its color that can equal it." 



The above is a truthful statement of facts by a very competent gentleman, and if needing verification, the simple assertion that the flowers 

 of this magnifldent variety of Carnation have been sold wholesale as high as 91.50 per dozen, and none less tban 91 per dozen ud to date, should 

 be enough to convince anybody of its Intrinsic value. (See illustration of an average bloom in the Florists' Keview, June 1. 19J&.) 



The constant inquiry by everyone who bas seen the plants in flswer is: "When will the Hannah Hobart be for sale ?" This led us 

 at last to the conclusion to distribute the same next year, and we are ready to book orders from now on for delivery beginning Jan. 1, 1906. 

 Send your orders in early because they will be filled strictly in rotation. Price, (3.00 per 13; 916.00 per lOO; 9130.00 per lOOO.

tactics in a retail store that they do in 

 their wholesale establishments; that is, 

 to undersell the white man. A great 

 portion of the public seem to be con- 

 stantly hunting for something cheap and 

 naturally they will patronize the Jap- 

 anese retail stores when more of them 

 are started. 



What is to be Done? 



The wlTite growers are beginning to 

 feel in a most uncomfortable way the 

 competition of the Japanese, for whom 

 they are no match when it is a proposi- 

 tion involving a fair price paid to labor 

 and the cheap production of cut flowers. 

 Certainly the Japanese raise, as a rule, 

 only second quality stock, but they are 

 growing that in such vast quantities 

 that they have corralled a Ijrge por- 

 tion of the trade from the smaller stores 

 and the street hucksters. The wholesale 

 dealers have had several meetings to con- 

 sider the question and various plans have 

 fceen proposed to regulate it, but as yet 

 nothing definite has been attempted. 



In conclusion, I might say that this 

 we know positively, that the Japanese 

 have completely ruined several branches 

 of trade on this coast, and many of us 

 are beginning to wonder if the florists' 

 trade will be the next. G.
