Carnations 
W E make a specialty of Carnations and grow them in large quantities. We find the 
demand for them is increasing more and more every year. They are almost hardy 
in the South, requiring only slight protection during very severe weather. Plant 
very early in the spring, so that they will get well established before hot weather. 
Pinch the top shoots several times during the summer, to encourage a bushy growth. If 
wanted for winter blooming, pot in October. The cut-flowers will last a week or more in 
an ordinary sitting-room, and very few flowers have such a delightful fragrance.

original stock.

Haskell Avenue Floral Co., Ozona, Texas, May 1, 1908. 
Gentlemen : The plants ordered from you last month are all growing nicely, and I am more trmn 
delighted with them. I have always bought my plants in the North heretofore, but yours beats them all. 
I shall surely patronize Texas florists in the future.
