“UNCLE DICK” (Illustrated Opposite) 
Uncle Dick’’ was awarded the Dorner Memorial Medal at the 
exposition of the American Carnation Society, held at Indianapolis, 
Indiana, on the eighth and ninth of February, 1934. 
CHARACTERISTICS of GROWTH and HABIT of “UNCLE DICK” 
1. The bloom is characterized by its large size and fullness and 
distinctive shade of light pink. It is a highly built flower with excel¬ 
lent form and is the largest light pink carnation offered to the trade. 
Size is 4 to 4J4 inches in diameter and the size is apparent at the 
beginning of the season, and continues throughout the entire season. 
2. The color is a very clear, pleasing shade of light pink, holding 
its color throughout the season. 
3. "Uncle Dick” produces flowers of excellent quality. The un¬ 
usual demand for them in the markets and prices paid for them show 
without question that "Uncle Dick” is a quality carnation. 
4. The flowers are borne on strong, sturdy stems of unusual 
thickness and holds the large bloom unusually well throughout the 
season. 
5. "Uncle Dick’s" excellent keeping qualities have accounted for 
itself through extensive shipping. 
6. ‘ Uncle Dick" is found to produce more blooms than any other 
variety of large carnation of its size. 
7. The fragrance of the bloom is extraordinary and distinctive 
for its strong but sweet clove character. The increased fragrance is 
readily noticeable by comparison with that of the known varieties.

Save Money on Your 1935 
CHRYSANTHEMUM CROP 
Strong rooted cuttings from stock plants which are free from 
midge, thrips and mealy bug (produced by a specialist) 
will get off to a quicker, healthier start. As a result you will 
be able to save time and to use less insecticide later in the 
season when it is expensive to try to clean up the heavy 
foliage on large plants. 
Fritz Bahr, in the Florists’ Exchange: 
CHRYSANTHEMUM STOCK PLANTS 
"I still am of the opinion that the man who can use but 
a few thousand rooted Mum cuttings in Spring in 25 or 
more sorts, is every bit as well off if he lets the specialist 
supply him rather than carry over his own stock plants. 
Aside from the trouble of keeping the different sorts true 
to name, one must carefully overwinter the old plants and 
keep them free of insects and disease, to permit having 
strong, healthy, well rooted cuttings of uniform size at the 
right time. It is really a business in itself and while retail 
growers may know well how to do it, many don’t have the 
time to give the stock plants proper attention." 
We issue a special catalogue of this line containing all of 
the older kinds of value, as well as novelties of merit which 
will enable you to keep “on top” with your Mum production. 
This special “Mum” catalogue indicates date of blooming 
of the various sorts and will be mailed free for the asking.
