Foreword 
HPHE PRICES quoted in this catalog cancel any previous issues 
and pertain to rooted cuttings except where noted. 
In compiling this catalog we list only floricultural products that 
have proved their worth in our greenhouses. Our intimate knowl¬ 
edge of the specialties: carnations, chrysanthemums, poinsettias and 
hydrangeas, enables us to confidently recommend varieties that have 
merit. Before releasing, we carefully select our seedlings, ever bear¬ 
ing in mind that they must be an improvement over any varieties 
extant. 
There is no stock on your place that is of greater importance than 
the young plants you are growing on for next season, and your suc¬ 
cess will depend very largely on the quality of stock you will bench 
next summer. It should have space on light, well ventilated benches 
and be grown in about the same temperature as you give the mature 
plants. Keep the plants growing steadily, shifting as may be needed 
to avoid stunting. Fumigate regularly to keep away insects. They 
attack the young plants as readily as the blooming plants. 
To avoid leaf spot on your young carnation plants, spray suffi¬ 
ciently often with Bordeau mixture to keep the foliage well covered. 
The prevalence of this disease all over the country makes this very 
important. 
As a spray for the young chrysanthemum stock we recommend 
a weekly application of Volck’s and Nicoteen, using one part of each 
to 200 gallons of soft water. This strength may be increased some if 
needed, or an additional application may be made if necessary. 
We desire to thank our patrons who have mailed us unsolicited 
testimonials as to our meritorious introductions and packing methods. 
We hope you have benefited financially as well as enjoyed growing 
our selection of novelties.

Postoffice address is STATION A, Indianapolis. 
We cannot allow any cash discount. All bills are due on the first
