FOREWORD 
OINCE we specialize in rooted cuttings of carnations, chrysan- 
^ themums, snapdragons and poinsettias by the million, we 
feel we are qualified to recommend varieties as listed in this 
catalog. Our propagators are careful to select only the best 
stock and our packers expertly examine all plants before leav¬ 
ing our greenhouses. 
Our products are shipped to all parts of the civilized world 
and we have on file testimonials complimenting our packing 
methods as well as attesting to the merits of our many novelty 
introductions that now have become standards. 
Besides the cutting department of our institution, in our plant 
department we offer for sale, and shall have available for Christ¬ 
mas, in the finished product: Poinsettias; Marjorie Gibbs and 
Chatelaine Begonias; also Cleveland Cherries.
