The Florists' Review 



Carnations! 



A word to the grower of carnations! 



This firm has 50,000 carnation plants that are grown exclu» 

 sively for cuttings, and never allowed to flower. 



It has been proved conclusively that plants will not yield cut 

 flowers and give strong cuttings at the same time; compelling 

 them to do this, gives wealcened stock. 



If your stock is lacking vigor, replace with some of these 

 carefully handled cuttings; they will put you in good shape for 

 another year. 



We use science and efficiency methods in handling our car- 

 nations from start to finish; visit our place and see for yourself; 

 you will not find a yellow or diseased plant. 



We root our cuttings in clean Lake Michigan sand, 

 freighted 200 miles. 



We root them cool. 



We have 150,000 cuttings ready for DECEMBER delivery, and 

 we shall have 200,000 for JANUARY. 



They embrace the following sorts: 



Commodore $12.00 per 100; $100.00 per 1000 



Richest crimson scarlet; the best keeper and traveler in the family: extremely free 

 in bloom: clean, strong grower: a little slow getting into bloom, but brings a big 

 Christmas crop: won its honors at the Midwinter Kxhibition at Detroit last year.

Benora $6.00 per 100; $50.00 per ICOO 



Gloriosa 4.00 per 100; 30.00 per lOOO 



If you want early bloom and a big Christmas cut, secure 

 early propagated stock. 



$3.00 per 100; $25.00 per 1000
