NEW SCARLET 

 CARNATION 



The Herald 



We ask you to kindly take into consideration the many strong points of this new Scarlet 

 Carnation which we offer for January, 1913, delivery. Three strong, perfect points of The 

 Herald: Large, 3%-inch perfectly formed flowers on long, strong stems. Perfect calyx; never 

 bursts. Free and continuous bloomer, giving a heavy, continuous crop of perfect flowers the en- 

 tire season. No Waiting until the end of the season to get flowers with long stems, but have 

 plenty of them all the time. The plants are strong and vigorous, free from disease, easy to propa- 

 gate. Cuttings struck in March make large plants for benching in July. Habit somewhat on the 

 order of Enchantress, more vigorous and productive. 



Tlie Heraid is one of our own originations. Have grown it the past four years, and have 

 not only convinced ourselves of its sterling worth, but have booked orders the past two years 

 from conservative carnation growers, who have watched the variety and wanted their order placed 

 for early delivery no matter when disseminated. 



Stocic wiii be ready January 1, 1913. 

 $12.00 per 100; $IOO.OO per lOOO.

The Davison & Western Floral Co. 

 has purchased the W. C. Walter place, 

 at 482 Josephine street, the considera- 

 tion being given as $23,000. Both men 

 have been connected with the Iowa 

 Seed Co., of Des Moines, la., and are 

 practical florists. William Western is 

 now in charge of the place. C. W. 

 Davison will come in a few weeks, with 

 his family, and will occupy the resi- 

 dence on the property, where Mr. Wal- 

 ter is now living. Mr. Walter's future 

 plana are not known. Under his agree- 

 ment with the purchasers, he cannot 

 engage in the florists' business in this 

 city for five years. 



C. Lengenfelder was married about 

 six weeks ago, but the news did not 

 travel fast, and it was only learned a 

 short time ago that he had been pass- 

 ing cigars around to the boys. 



The Gross Floral Co. received second 

 prize for a decorated Ford delivery 

 car entered in the automobile parade 

 during the recent carnival. Prepared 

 oak foliage and yellow chrysanthemums 

 were effectively used.
