ON BETTER CARNATIONS 
Most important cultural factor is starting with clean, disease free, 
early propagated stock. Any variety or stock is improved or run down 
thru cutting selection. The use of clean or sterilized soil from cutting to 
flowering beds and annually changing locations for outdoor planting 1s 
necessary because of the soil borne nature of most carnation diseases. 
If your stock is at all diseased or weak, chances are it will pay you well 
to start with clean, selected stock, such as we are offering, from carnation 
cutting specialists. The list we offer this season has been very carefully 
gone over by us. All varieties of questionable value have been dropped, 
and don’t overlook the value of having some of the novelty colors. A 
limited supply of such as Scarlet King, Pharaoh, Barbara Bringham 
and Dairymaid should be part of every retail growers planting, and— 
ORDER EARLY.
