Mr. Carnation Grower: 
For over 35 years, Carnations have been one of my specialties. Growers from coast to coast and all 
parts of Europe have told me that the many new carnations introduced by me have been the best. 
Before recommending new carnations I make sure of their commercial merit and see them growing 
several times. I consider the keeping and shipping qualities of new Carnations most econ They 
must be free flowering with good stems and clean, healthy growers. 
In addition to specializing in Carnations in this country, my export business on Carnations has 
been built up to considerable volume as a result of my recommendation of the best varieties intro- 
duced in America. I give particular attention to foreign orders as to special packing, and am familiar 
with regulations and other details regarding exporting, such as obtaining permits, certificates, etc. 
When interested in new varieties write me and ! will gladly give you my candid opinion.
