“BIGGERBLOOM” 
CARNATION 
Larger, quicker maturing blooms 
are possible where “ Biggerbloom”’ 
Carnation Supports are used. The 
young plants are relieved of the 
growing strain, thus aiding blossom 
development. 
“Biggerbloom”’ Carnation Supports 
are the result of many years’ practi- 
cal experience to produce a support 
light in structure, firm in support, 
strong enough to last many years, 
and at a price that makes their use 
a great economy and easy invest- 
ment. 
Thousands are in constant use in 
every part of the country, both by 
SUPPORTS 
practical florists in the largest con- 
servatories and by the amateur 
greenhouse man. 
“Biggerbloom”’ Carnation Supports 
are made to come apart and be 
packed in very small space—may be 
had in three sizes: Model E, onering, 
Model I, two rings, Model V, three 
rings. 
Once use ‘‘Biggerbloom”’ and you 
will always use them. 
We manufacture “Biggerbloom’’ 
Supports for all plant life.

price list.
