CALL AND SEE IT GROWING 



Miami Queen 



In diBseminatioD of this new carnation, the introducer feels confident it 

 excels all similar varieties in the following respects : 



It has a strong constitution and will thrive with ordinary culture. 



The color is a grand cerise pink and very double, shows up fine under 

 artificial light. 



The blooming qualities are of the best, commencing in early Fall and 

 continuing throughout the season. 



During the dark days of Winter, this carnation, having a strong calyx, 

 does not split to any extent, like other pinks. 



The form is ideal, the flower being from 3 inches to 4 inches; the plant 

 compact, with no surplus grass ; the stem is long and graceful ; keeping 

 qualities are excellent; a good shipper; and we feel confident that this is 

 one of the best commercial carnations sent out in years ; we have given it 

 five years' trial, and it is better this year than ever. 



We are bookincf orders for January, 1910, delivery, at $10.00 per 100, 

 $85.00 per 1000. Orders filled in strict rotation. For sale by

TO CLEAN OUT EARTHWORMS. 



Can I use lime on my beds to extermi- 

 nate earthworms, in a sparing way, and 

 would air-slaked lime be all right to use? 

 Will it have any effect on the blooms? 

 F. M. B. 



There are quite a number of special 

 worm eradicators on the market. The 

 simplest and least expensive one is lime 

 water. Slake one or two pieces of stone 

 lime in a barrel. After it has settled 

 use the clear liquid to water with. It 

 will not hurt the plants at all, nor will 

 it wither the foliage if you are careful 

 not to stir up the bottom when using it.

ADMIRATION 



This carnation we offer to the trade as bein? one of the finest Carnations of any color 

 that we linow of up to date. Being a beautiful shade of pink, somewhat lighter than Winona, 

 having that beautiful satin flnlsh, always showing up well either in natural or artificial light. 

 Plants benched in August are now coming into full crop, carrying from 10 to 20 buds. We 

 have been cutting since September 10th. As a money maker you will find no equal. 



The size of the flower is 3 to 3^ inches, excellent form, well built up in the center, with 

 the petals so arranged as to make it stand the general requirements of a good fancy com- 

 mercial variety. A grand keeper and shipper. 



The habit is ideal, upright with no surplus grass and every shoot going into flower. Its 

 freedom and earlin^sB make it nearly the ideal carnation. The calyx is very tough and 

 seldom bursts. Can be handled with great success either from the field or grown inside all 

 Slimmer. No one has to be an expert to handle this variety. It scored 86 points at the 

 American Carnation Society meeting at Indianapolis, January 27 to 28, 1909. 



Price, $12.00 per 100; $100.00 per 1000.

Send for catalogue of all other new and standard varieties of carnations, 

 always pleased to have visitors come and inspect our stock and varieties.
