Grower and Raiser of the New 
Remontant Hardy Border Carnations 
It is an honor and a privilege to have the good fortune to introduce 
this remarkable carnation to my customers. 
Prolific and continuous in bloom, with long rigid stems, bearing flow- 
ers beyond comparison. Enormous in size, gorgeous in their colors and 
gloriously fragrant. 
The demand for the Remontant (Webster's definition meaning con- 
tinuous in flower) Carnation has been sensational, both with the exhibitor 
and for garden decoration. 
Their outstanding quality in the individual blooms, coupled with their 
prolific freedom of flowering and perfect habit of growth will undoubt- 
edly make them prime favorites with all carnation lovers. 
The plants we ship are not small cuttings, but large layered plants 
propogated from the parent plants out in the field. The plants are, there- 
fore, large and stocky; being guaranteed to bloom profusely the first 
season. 
PLANTING and DELIVERY 
We recommend autumn planting on the Pacific Coast and similar 
climates, beginning in October. In colder climates and on heavy soils 
spring planting is safer. Plants then obtained from us will give excellent 
results even up to the middle of May. 
GUARANTEE—We guarantee that all plants are true to name and type, rigidly 
inspected and to be in the finest condition. We cannot, however entertain any 
complaints after 10 days, or be responsible for failures, as such are beyond our 
control
