New Carnation 



Brilliant Scarlet 



There are Seven Reasons Why You Should Grow 

 Defiance, and They Ares 



iBt. It is by far the best color seen in a scarlet 

 carnation; it is the true velvety scarlet and not red; it 

 will average three inches in diameter throughout the 

 season. 



2d. It is unexcelled for productiveness by any 

 carnation in commerce today. 



3d. It is a clean and upright grower, producing 

 an abundance of high grade flowers without any spec- 

 ial treatment. 



4th. It is in perfect health and not subject to rust 

 or any other disease which is very prevalent amongst 

 other carnations today. 



5th. It is of perfect form. Blooms are very sym- 

 metrical; center nicely built up and very full, bift not 

 so as to appear crowded; stems are very stiff and wiry, 

 holding the flowers perfectly erect. 



6th. It is a scarlet for the entire season, and can be 

 had in crop in October, continuing through the entire 

 season. It does not lose its color in bright sunlight— in 

 fact it improves under a bright sun when other reds fade. 



7th. It is the only scarlet today, and by grow- 

 ing DBFIANCB you will be satisfied it has no faults; 

 it is full of vigor and will do the work when other 

 scarlets fail. 



Strong, well-rooted cuttings, every one guaranteed, $12.00 per lOO; 

 $100«00 per lOOO* Usual discount on large orders. January delivery as yet.

RAMBLING JOTTINGS. 



John Murchie, of Sharon, Pa., did a 

 wise thing when he located at West Mid- 

 dlesex, and he did not consult a clair- 

 voyant either. 



Walter W. Coles, of Kokonio, Ind., is 

 blossoming out as an orchidist now that 

 he has so slick a range of houses, built 

 by the King Construction Co. He says 

 the truss system is all right and he has 

 no fear for the prairie gales that for- 

 merly made him quake. He always grew 

 fine Beauties and will not be satisfied if 

 he does not beat the best. He ex- 

 pressed himself on carnations thus: 

 "Victory is great. Craig is a disappoint- 

 ment. Aristocrat is not a taking color. 

 Cardinal is the only scarlet just right for 

 Christmas, and a heavy crop. White Per- 

 fection is the best white. Winsor is act- 

 ing very much as if it were a sport of 

 Lawson, being stocky and almost identical 

 with the exception of color. Enchantress 

 and Rose-pink Enchantress- are practic- 

 ally the same in every locality, being the 

 least affected of any kind by the nature 

 of the soil or the method of culture. ' ' 

 A house of Princess of Wales, just right 

 for the holidays, with every bloom al- 

 ready sold, was a sight. Mr. Coles said 

 that 1,000 of them would each cover a 

 silver dollar. I doubted it, but we meas- 

 ured several that more than did so.
