We are utilizing every known precaution to keep 
our stocks free of contamination from virus, bacterial and 
fungous diseases. However, it should be well understood 
by all those who have any part in the sale or the culture 
of plant material that it is impossible to positively 
assure or guarantee absolute freedom of disease under all 
conditions and without exception. 
It is important then that it is clearly under- 
stood and that no misrepresentation be made of the fact 
that the rooted cuttings of these varieties are offered on 
the basis that every known precaution has been taken to 
keep them free of disease and that on the other hand, they 
do not possess any special immunity to any of the Carnation 
diseases and must therefore be handled with the same pre- 
cautionary methods which are necessary in handling ordinary 
commercial stocks or varieties. Given unsanitary conditions 
and treatment they will contract diseases just as readily 
as any other commercial variety now being grown.
