AS A MAHER or COURSE YOU ARE LOOKING FOR THE BEST AND MOST PROFITABLE . . 

 PINK CARNATION. WHAT SHALL IT BE? OUR ANSWER IS: INVEST IN THE 



Rose-Pink Enchantress 



IT IS A SURE THING 



Enough were disseminated in various sectlonB of the country last year to prov* that it is the best and most profltabl* variety in sigfht 

 to-day. And so, "lest you forKet," we say aeain: Don't besltato, don't doubt, don't delay mailing your order. The BOSB-PIMK 

 XMCSiAMTBlESS is an ideal variety, viewed from whatever standpoint. Prices for strong rooted cuttings, January and later delivery: 



97 00 per 100; $60.00 per 1000. 



" Rose-Pink Enchantress is by far the best carnation we have ever grown. Have had it in bloom now for two 

 months and it has commanded 25 per cent better price than any other fancy carnation, its pleasing color makes it a 

 quick seller and am sure it will be one of the most popular varieties for years to come. "—Mrs. R. Mauff, Denver, Oolo. 



" It is identical with Enchantress except for the lovely pink color. The 700 plants we have, although doing well, 

 cannot furnish one-fourth enough to supply the demand for this color continually ordered in advance."— 0. F. Bakbr 

 & Son, Utica, N. Y. 



" The stock of Rose-Pink Enchantress furnished by you last spring was of a high character : the plants are 

 producing blooms superior to its parent (Enchantress). We believe it to be far superior. Its shade of pink is a color 

 long sought after We are sure it is one of the best acquisitions in Carnations we have had in a long time."— 

 J. Brkitmeyeh's Sons, Detroit, Mich. 



"Our Rose-Pink Enchantress are simply grand and we shall not sell any cuttings, but reserve all for ourselves." 

 —Geo. E. Button, Nashua, N. H. 



" We are much pleased with the RosePlnk Enchantress. We ^rew it under glass all summer and began to cut 

 in August. It was a little liubt early, but far superior to Enchantress, which was a washy color. Tbe color is fine 

 now, just the shade the public wants. We shall grow 5,000 of them next season." W. J. Palmer & Son, BufFalo, N. Y. 



" We are much pleased with the Rose-Pink Enchantress bought of you last season. We find it strong and 

 healthy, coming into bloom early, and being a clear pink, just the color needed. Shall plant more of it next year. 

 We consider it one of the best varieties sent out the last few years."— Patten & Co., Tewksbury, Mass.

WATER CIRCULATION. 



Our house is 60x65. In half of this 

 the pipes are only about two feet above 

 the bottom of the boiler, and the water 

 does not circulate as freely as it should. 

 We use an old boiler of about thirty 

 horse-power and soft coal at $1.12% a 

 ton. Would it pay us to install a hot 

 water circulator, and could we dispense 

 with night firing? E. S. M. 



If you have water power, cheap elec- 

 tric current or natural gas which can 

 be used to. furnish motive power for 

 driving circulating pump, then the in- 

 stallation of such device would undoubt- 

 edly prove satisfactory. If, however, it 

 is necessary to install and fire an auxil- 

 iary steam boiler to supply power to 

 such a device, it will prove more eco- 

 nomical to remodel the heating plant so 

 as to work with satisfaction on a gravity 

 basis rather than install the boiler and 

 pump. A small gasoline motor might be 

 rigged to do the work if water or elec- 

 tricity are not available. There are a 

 number of satisfactory circulating 

 pumps. Those built with a revolving 

 auger pod for propelling the water are 

 among the simplest devices for this pur- 

 pose. L- C. C.
