outclasses everything heretofore grown in the daric pinic section. Won 



first honors in the 100 class for best dark pink at the A. C. S. meeting, Pittsburg, 

 January, 1910, also at the Chicago Flower Show, November, 1909. 



It is a pure, bright, dark pink of even shade, size 3^ inches, an early and 

 continuous bloomer, brings fully 25 per cent more flowers to the plant than Lawson 

 at its best ; flowers well shaped on long, wiry stems ; calyx does not split. It is a 

 good shipper, and the cuttings root easy.

Carnation Dorothy Gordon-Orders Now Booked 

 For More Than Fifty Thousand Rooted Cuttings 



Last year, you remember, we told you about the great beauty and remark- 

 able quality of our new seedling Carnation "Dorothy Gordon," which we were 

 then introducing for the first time, after giving a very thorough trial ourselves. 

 Hundreds of growers in all parts of the country became convinced of its 

 merit, both through our advertising and by seeing the flower on exhibit at the 

 various shows of the season, and we sold practically all the cuttings we 

 could grow, up to April of this year. 



That means that hundreds of progressive growers are going to make 



money this year, for we have proved "Dorothy Gordon" a money-maker 



t — beyond all question the most profitable of the commercial carnations. 



\. These men are going to make money from the carnations they grow 



this year; now how about yon?

 Be Sure to Look Us Up 



Are yott in line for your share ol the 

 profits from this splendid flower? 



If not, you're going to miss something good this winter, but there's 

 still a fine chance for you to "get in" — ^we're growing more rooted cut- 

 tings, and can fill your order, if placed at once. We have already 

 booked orders for more than 50,000 this fall, so it is evident that this 

 season's business will be a close second to that of last. 

 V Carnation "Dorothy Gordon" is a seedling of Lawson on Enchantress 

 I and is a trifle darker than Pink Enchantress. It is vigorous, notably 

 .^ free from disease, and bears extra large flowers of good substance 

 (averaging over three inches in diameter), in great abundance on long, 

 stiff stems. These keep unusually well, and bring much higher prices 

 than other commercial carnations — in fact, we have regularly found that 

 a given quantity of "Dorothy Gordon" would yield just double the 

 returns that could be realized from Enchantress, which we had grown 

 extensively before taking up "Dorothy Gordon." 



We quote on rooted cuttings of "Dorothy Gordon" as follows: 



$6.00 per 100; $50.00 per 1000 



Orders should be placed early and will be filled in rotation. Write 

 for particulars, or better still come and see "Dorothy Gordon" growing 

 in our houses. Visitors welcome any week-day.
