BOREW.ORIDIs : - 
Different varieties of carnations react in varying fashion to soil, climatic 
and cultural conditions, just as individual humans react differently to any 
given condition. Therefore it cannot be expected that every variety will 
do equally well on any one establishment. A careful study has been made 
of available varieties, and those described in this booklet have been selected 
as the ones of greatest commercial value, and mostly likely to prove 
profitable. 
The cuttings herein offered are produced on one of the largest and best 
known carnation ranges in the country, where carnations have been suc- 
cessfully grown for nearly three decades. The men growing and handling 
these cuttings have grown up in the carnation business; they are experts 
who understand thoroughly the work they are doing. The cuttings you 
purchase will be carefully selected from healthy plants, well rooted, vigorous 
and expertly packed. Every shipment is fully guaranteed, and will be 
replaced if not satisfactory. Your order, whether it be for 50 cuttings or 
50,000 cuttings, will receive prompt, courteous and efficient attention. 
Space in this booklet does not permit our publishing cultural advice, but a 
leaflet containing such instructions will be included in every shipment. 
The subject of insects and diseases is such an important one, however, and 
so many inquiries are received concerning them, that we have listed in 
this catalogue those of primary concern to carnation growers. In order 
to intelligently combat any desease, the trouble must first be properly 
diagnosed. We hope that the information contained herein will aid you 
in identifying and combating your troubles. We will be happy to answer 
your inquiries to the best of our ability, and if we are in doubt, your prob- 
lem will be referred to the proper authorities. 
We are not concerned solely with the mass production of carnations. Our 
aim is to produce dependable carnation cuttings of high quality in suffic- 
iently large quantities to enable us to fill any order and to provide unsur- 
passable service in this field.
