BAUR-STEINKAMP 6c COMPANY 
To Our Patrons: 
In these days when the margin of profit is small it is becoming increasingly 
necessary that each square foot of bench space produces the maximum num¬ 
ber of flowers. It is also becoming more necessary that the quality of the 
stock be just a little better. Greater production and higher quality are the two 
standards by which our new introductions are measured. Any new variety 
that is not superior to one already existing is quickly discarded. "Improve¬ 
ment" is our by-word. 
We have been growing seedling carnations and chrysanthemums for many 
years and have introduced to the trade many varieties that have become the 
standards. Betty Lou, Pink Abundance, Patrician and King Cardinal have 
become milestones in the carnation parade the same as Thanksgiving Pink, 
Gold Lode, Monument, Ambassador and Marketeer have with the mums. 
These are only a few of the some 35 carnation and 105 chrysanthemum va¬ 
rieties that we have introduced. 
Our wide experience in shipping cuttings to distant points of the world 
enables us to pack and ship your order with the least possible check in growth. 
We pride ourselves with the cleanliness of our stock and use preventatives 
against insects and diseases rather than controls after infestation or infection 
has appeared. 
We cordially invite you to visit our range to inspect the new varieties at 
any time.
