IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT TO CARNATION fiROWERS 



At the earnest Bolicitation of a large number of commercial and private growers, the Cottage Gardens Com- 

 pany has decided to disseminate this year the two famous Carnations 



MRS. C. W. WARD and ALMS WARD 



two varieties which are well known to all the leading growers of the country. 4 years' test in the New York market 

 has demonstrated their popularity and good staying qualities. For the past 3 years we have been growing from 

 15,000 to 25,000 of each, during which time they have always commanded the highest market prices, and at no time 

 has the supply been equal to the demand. 



On the exhibition table they have taken the highest honors, and we believe it is safe to say these two carna- 

 tions stand without an equal. 



INVITATION 



We extend a cordial invitation to all those interested to visit our establishment, where they will have an oppor- 

 tunity to see them growing and compare their good points with other standard varieties grown under the same 

 conditions.
