Grower and Importer of English 
Hardy Border Carnations 
Renton, Wash. 
Our sincere thanks is extended . to our customers 
for their generous support during the past season. Not 
only to those who have favored us with orders, hut to 
all who have kindly recommended us to others. We 
especially wish to thank those who sent us the many 
unsolicited letters of appreciation, and encouraged by 
the increasing demand for this wonderful garden car¬ 
nation, we have increased our stock of most of our 
varieties, some of which were sold out rather early 
last season. So many of our customers have written 
regarding the exceptional size and wonderful quality 
of plants received by them, that we deem it advisable 
to state for the benefit of new customers that our 
plants are not small cuttings but large layered plants 
propagated from the parent plants out in the field. 
The plants are therefore large and stocky, and are 
guaranteed to bloom profusely the first season, bearing 
fiowers beyond comparison, enormous in size, gorgeous 
in their colors, with strong rigid stems, and gloriously 
fragrant. 
All plants are guaranteed true to name, being 
winners of many trophies at the Royal Horticulture, 
Chelsea, and other shows in England. 
Plants being ready for shipping from October until 
the end of May. Cultural instructions will be included 
with every order. 
We extend a cordial welcome to all who wish to 
visit our gardens; especially during June, July and 
August. 
Gardens are situated on the Dunlap Canyon Road, 
Highway No. 10, at Earlington. Just before coming 
to the Cross Roads entering Renton from Seattle. 
Watch for sign. 
Sincerely yours, 
R. H. PRATT.
