Ifflportaot Aoflooncemeot to Carnation Growers 



At the earnest solicitation of a large number of commercial and private growers, the Cottage Gardens Company 

 has decided to disseminate this year the two famoas Carnations 



MRS. C. W. WARD and ALMA WARD 



two varieties which are well known to all the leading growers of the country. Four 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 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 Carnations 

 stand without an equal. 



INVITATION 



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

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

 conditions.
