John Bonhard, our Carnation Grower 
The above picture is a close-up of John in the midst of his 
work, with a few sample specimens of the variety Charm. Many 
of our customers, and more especially readers of our monthly 
GROWER TALKS, are familiar with his interesting articles on 
Carnations that he writes from time to time. His short, stream- 
lined directions on how he grows Carnations here at West Chi- 
cago, under mid-western conditions, we believe will prove inter- 
esting and instructive not only to the growers with limited ex- 
perience, but to the old timers as well. Turn to page 18 and 
read it yourself. 
Like everyone else in our organization, John is ready to do his 
share in helping out in our various departments that are under- 
manned because so many of our boys are now members of our 
armed forces. John is now devoting considerable time in our 
plant department and will be glad to answer any of your ques- 
tions on Carnation culture and other greenhouse problems. As a 
graduate of Floriculture from the University of Illinois, his 5 
years of practical growing experience, and his ability to put his 
ideas in writing makes his answer to your particular questions of 
considerable value to you. Do not hesitate to write him at any 
time. é eal
