Important Anoooflcement to Caroatioo Growers 



At the earneet solicitation of a large number of commercial and private growers, the Cottage Gardena Com- 

 pany has decided to disseminate this year the two famous Carnations 



MRS. C. W. WARD and ALMS WARD 



two varieties wbich 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 three 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 suoply 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 carnations 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 

 conditions. 



MR9. C. W. WARD ALMA WARD 



under the same 



MRS. C. W. WARD is a perfectly formed flower with full 

 center; color, deep pink, several shades lighter than Lawson, 

 deeper than Wiusor: having strong, erect stems 24 to 36 inches in 

 lencth. A vigorous, healthy grower and has never shown disease 

 of any kind. 



A very early and free bloomer, producing fine flowers as early 

 as September 1st, which bring from 25 to 60 per cent more than 

 any other variety on the market. 



The keeping qualities of this variety are remarkable. Several 

 shipments of blooms sent to Europe reached their destinations in 

 perfect condition, and wherever exhibited it has always been the 

 last to show signs of wilting.
