Further wews of Your Caruations of “Jomornrou 
Last season we advised you that we had been breeding and selecting seedling carnations 
for several years, and that from thousands of seedlings started a number of years ago, we 
had selected 175 for further development and study. After watching these seedlings closely 
all season, and making detailed records of them, we have further reduced the selection to 96 
promising varieties. Among them are many outstanding varieties, and several that are sensa- 
tional. All have been thoroughly tested, and will continue to be tested until it is decided to 
place them on the market. 
A few of these new seedlings will be offered to the trade each season.

continued the use of Vermiculite.) They are completely guaranteed to be satisfactory when 
you receive them

CLAIMS. We are not responsible for damage to stock

DELIVERIES will start about mid-November. Orders 
will be shipped in rotation as they are received. While 
we make every effort to ship orders when they are 
requested, it is impossible to meet every request. 80% 
of our orders ask for January-February delivery, yet 
no more than 50% of our cuttings can be shipped at 
that time. If you will not accept delivery before or 
after a certain date, please specify this on your order, 
otherwise all orders will be shipped in rotation as 
early as possible from mid-November to mid-April.

received to cancel on a certain date if delivery has not 
been made before that date, and we have been unable 
to make that delivery. An order may call for Jan- 
uary delivery, but ke shipped in February or March. 
The order will ke considered in force unless it has 
keen cancelled in writing, or unless it specifically 
states to cancel if unable to deliver in January. The 
shipping date on an order is the time you would 
prefer to receive the cuttings, but we assume that any 
order will be accepted between mid-November and 
mid-April unless the order states clearly to the con- 
trary. 
FOREIGN ORDERS must be accompanied by cash, 
paid for with Internaticnal Money Orders or drafts on 
a United States bank. Allowance must be made for 
carriage charges where shipments cannot be sent col- 
lect. All shipments outsid= of the United States will
