Grower and Importer of English 
Hardy Border Carnations 
Renton, Wash. 
I again extend my sincere thanks to our customers 
for their generous support during the past season. I 
am especially grateful to those of you who sent me the 
wonderful ussolicited testimonials. We do try to give 
our best in every way and it is a source of satisfaction 
and very encouraging to us to Know that our eiforts 
are so widely appreciated. Please remember that our 
plants are not cuttings, but large layers propagated 
from the parent plants out in the field. 
The plants are therefore extra large and stocky, 
being guaranteed to bloom profusely the first season. 
Bearing flowers beyond comparison, enormous in size 
- with strong rigid stems. All plants are true to name 
being winners of many trophies at the Royal Horticul- 
ture, Chelsea and other shows in England. Plants will 
be ready for shipping. from. October until the end of 
May. I have this season compiled a very extensive cul- 
tural treatise which not only covers growing directions 
but which vividly describes propagation by layering. 
These cultural instructions will be included with every 
order, 
Sincerely yours, 
R.A PRA
