A Glorified Prosperity with all the Good Features of the Lawson Strain 



With its name proclaiming its beautiful color combination, RAINBOW is one of the best, most profitable and re- 

 markal)'e carnations offered to the giowers today. This excellent seedling should be grown by every carnation grower, 



It is the best It has largpe flowers of perfect form 



It is easily propag^ated It is a cool g^rower, doingf best with 60^ 



It has a remarkably long^, hea^y, stiff stem It blooms freely, early, continuously 



It has a strong, non-splittin§^ calyx It is a good keeper 



and, best of all, it is a money maker and sells on sight 



AVe realize 40% to 6()9b more profit on Rainbow than on any of the many standard varieties we have ever grown. 

 It was sold last season exclusively to the largest retail dealer in New York City, who took our entire output. 



The deUcate shading from deep to light pink makes it both a superior display bloom and a general purpose flower, 

 commanding the highest price everywhere. Our claims to superiority in Rainbow are supported by 16 years of pains- 

 taking experience in producing and growing carnation seedlings of extreme merit. 



Rainbow should not be confused or classed with the ordinary pink and white variegated — it is far superior. 



Pedigree: — Morning Glory crossed with Lawson, producing white seedling, overlaid with pink. This resulting 

 seedling crossed with Lawson, producing Rainbow — "profitable and prolific." 



Our propagating facilities are strictly up-to-date. We can deliver a half million rooted cuttings and guarantee 

 them to be perfect and satisfactory in every way. Orders booked now for January delivery.

The cut flower trade has been good 

 for the last week. Flowers are in good 

 supply. The carnations now coming in 

 are all right; they retail at 50 cents 

 per dozen. Roses retail at $1 and $1.50 

 per dozen; mums, from $1.50 up to $3 

 per dozen. The latter are getting 

 rather scarce. Violets sell well at $1 

 per hundred Klossoms, Paper Whites at 

 50 cents per dozen, bouvardia at 50 

 cents per dozen. Candytuft and alys- 

 sura help out well. Stevia is now com- 

 ing in good shape and is fine for mix- 

 ing with the other flowers. 



Funeral work is good, using up 

 lots of stock. Plant sales are 

 good, with fairly good prices. We 

 have had no severe weather as yet. 

 Nearly all the bulbs have been planted 

 out for spring flowering. Privet 

 hedge plants and other shrubs are in 

 fairly good demand. 



The uptown stores are making nice 

 displays. Wm. P. Perrce had a pretty 

 window last Saturday. 



E. H. Chamberlain is handling some 

 nice ferns. W. L.
