Why Are You Growing Carnations ? 



For profit, of course, which involves two things — pleas- 

 ing your trade and making money. Now, are you keeping 

 yourself posted, at first hand, about the new sorts, or are 

 you sticking to old kinds simply because they made money 

 for you years ago ? 



If you're taking somebody else's word for the merit of 

 the new carnations, you're doing yourself an injustice, no 

 matter whether the opinions you hear are favorable or not. 

 It wouldn't c( st you nmch to try at least some of the new 

 ones that had "made good" for other growers and see what 

 they would do in your hf)U8es; in fact, that's just what 

 we want you to do with 



Carnation Dorothy Gordon 



of which you've heard so much the last season or two. It has 

 made money for us— we grew it for years before we adver- 

 tised a" single cutting for sale ; it has succeeded for scores 

 of others, enabling them to grow more flowers and make 

 more money than they ever had made from other carnations. 



But you need more proof than either of these that " Dorothy Gordon " is 

 the carnation for you to grow. So we say, try it out yourself — put some of 

 our rooted cuttings in your own range; see them grow and bloom, sell the 

 flowers and feel the money — the extra money you get for Dorothy Gordon- 

 padding: out your pocket. That's the way to find out its worth — it's the 

 only way that's fair to you and to us. 



We've a choice but limited stock of plants ready for inmiediate shipment— 

 we ofifer Rooted Cnttingrs, $6.00 per 100; $60.00 per 1000. 



Come and see our stock of blooming plants and cuttirtgs if you can — we 

 always prefer that. If not, mail your order now — don't delay. Further 

 particulars gladly furnished on request.

The most prolific and profitable variety in the market, producing more flowers and bring-
