The many florists visiting our houses the past autumn have been unani¬ 
mous in appreciation of our clean, sturdy carnation stock. It is always in¬ 
teresting to compare new and standard varieties blooming side by side; 
every bench is a perfect picture—that is what we can show visitors in the 
first range. 
The second range is given over to stock grown for cuttings only and 
not allowed to bloom. It may not be as showy as the flowering section, but 
we are quite as proud of it, and the plump, clean growths appeal to every 
intending purchaser. 
'file propagating houses finish the carnation story; they are kept as clean 
as a new pin, and sweet as cool outdoor air can make them; we use only 
sharp Michigan sand; all this detail costs, but the results are that it has given 
our cuttings a national reputation of which we are proud. 
In the packing shed the same careful handling puts the cuttings up in 
neat, compact bundles—just moist enough to carry well—and they are 
shipped in light, uniform boxes, all over the country. We guarantee qual¬ 
ity, and good count, and pleased satisfaction. 
The 1915 Novelties 
PINK SENSATION 
(Dorner) 
Dorner’s description: 
“The flower is extremely large, averaging four to 
four and one-half inches, full and deep. The keeping 
qualities are better than ordinary, having often been 
advised that shipped blooms have kept in good con¬ 
dition ten days after cutting. The color is a well 
defined pink, somewhat lighter than Gloriosa. The 
growth is stocky, has a heavier foliage than ordinary 
and throws good, long, heavy flower stems. The large 
size, well shaped blooms, pleasing color, long stiff 
stems and its unexcelled keeping qualities combined 
with its strong, clean habit of growth, gives it class 
and commercial worth.” 
$12 per 100; $100 per 1000. 
GOOD CHEER 
(Dorner) 
Dorner’s description : 
“Color, deep pink, darker than Gloriosa. Stems, 
extra long and stiff. Size, three to three and one-half 
inches and has good keeping qualities. Growth, 
straight and upright, making well shaped plants. Early 
and continuous flowering. As a producer it has excep¬ 
tional merit, a bench in full crop impresses one with 
its great productiveness and commercial value.” 
$12 per 100; $100 per 1000.

Clear rose-pink, averaging 3 to 3J4 inches across,
