TO OUR CUSTOMERS : 
We are pleased to present for the coming 
season the finest list of carnation varieties of 
our thirty-eight years experience in this field. 
Many of the varieties are our own introductions 
and several have been brought in to round out the 
list. All have been carefully tried and selected 
as the best. 
With the bright prospects of business for 
the coming year we urge you to take this oppor- 
tunity to improve your carnation stock by replacing 
with the new colors and more profitable varieties. 
The popularity of the carnation is still on the 
upward swing and it is to your advantage to keep 
pace with the increased demand. 
In order to supply you with the best 
quality cuttings we do everything possible and take 
every precaution to keep the stock vigorous and 
disease free. We grow approximately 25,000 plants 
for just the cuttings they produce. These plants 
are kept covered with Bordo Mixture continuously 
from the time they are young plants until they have 
finished producing cuttings the following year. 
Before going into the propagating bench the cut- 
tings are treated with potassium permanganate and 
then rooted with the aid of a root-promoting material 
in steam sterilized sand. Every cutting is thor- 
oughly inspected while being packed and only 
perfect ones are shipped. We are sincerely trying 
to supply you with only the best rooted carnation 
cuttings. 
We thank you for the orders that you have 
sent to us in the past and hope that we may merit 
your continued patronage. 
Very truly yours, 
BAUR-STEINKAMP & CO. 
Originators of Cfine Carnations 
INCLUDING 
King Cardinal, Pink Abundance, Patrician, Betty Lou and others.
