HE DID NOT HAVE TO 

 WAIT ANOTHER YEAR 



Consequently will have to show no reason. He was handicapped at that by distance and 

 shortage of blooms. Aristocrat, as is well known, has practically all the buds pinched off 

 to enable us to get more cuttings and to avoid a downfall next year. We will have 

 40,000 plants. Several thousand of these will be bloomed continually from September J, 

 1906, to September I, 1907.

MR. K. WITTERSTAETTER, Cincinnati, Ohio. 



Dear Sir — If it is possible to get 100 blooms of Aristocrat for the 15th, wire me Sunday, 

 the 11th inst., and I will come to Cincinnati for them and take them to Toronto Horticultural 

 Society's Carnation Exhibit for the 15th inst. 



All the champion carnations that were shown at Boston will be there thinking to win the 

 Challenge Cup which we have won two years in successsion and if we win it again it becomes 

 our property. Aristocrat can do it. Yours respectfully, 



(Signed) CHICAGO CARNATION CO.

 Dear Sir — Have only hundred Aristocrat only fair. If you come wire me. 



Yours truly, (Signed) R. WITTERSTAETTER. 



RESULT 



Landed in Cincinnati on the 13th; packed every flower available of Aristocrat (no 

 selection), left at noon, arrived at Toronto the \ 5th; flowers judged in the afternoon. 



Cup Awarded to Aristocrat 



over all the Boston American Carnation Society's champions. The Gold, the Silver, the 

 Bronze Medal winners were all there. We advertised the fact in advance that Aristocrat 

 would be there with the GOODS; that Aristocrat would be there with both feet, so the 

 Medal winners were prepared for the battle. Aristocrat has no excuse to offer. 



NOW THEN — The output of cuttings next season will be limited. Would like 

 to sell J 00 cuttings to EVERY FLORIST in the COUNTRY, so as to have it widely 

 distributed and thoroughly tried, as it is going to do well everywhere. 



Ready January J, J 907. Send your orders quick as our bookings will soon cease. 

 Price per 100, $12.00; per 1000, $ J 00.00.
