A VISIT TO SOME CF OUR CAR- 

 NATIONISTS. 



Messrs. .Tacob Scluilz, C. 1[. Kiinz- 

 niaii and .1. C'ornon made a shoit visit 

 to Cincinnati, Uiiliniond and Lafay- 

 ette. At Cincinnati they visited Mr. 

 R. Witterst.aeitei-'s place to get a look 

 at his new carnations and they were 

 well worth going to see for such 

 blooms we have not seen before. His 

 Enquirer is above all description; his 

 new scarlet Adonis must be seen or 

 you could not believe such blooms pos- 

 sible; No. SSO A, a large, tine, pure 

 white, is extra good, as also his No. 

 518 B, a pink cerise; Estelle, a scarlet 

 o£ a very good color and size. This 

 last one is being sent out thi.s year 

 and we all bought it. The other will 

 not be sent out for one or two years. 



At Mr. E. G. Hill's we saw his Mary 

 Hill, a very good pink, good flower 

 and a good bloomer. His Mai-y 

 Wheeler, a Daybreak pink, but large 

 blooms and better stem. At Mr. P. 

 Dorner's we saw some of the best 

 seedlings ever grown; his No. 2, a 

 very large white, penciled with pink, 

 every petal fringed, penciled and 

 shaped like a feather. Mr. Dorner 

 called it his cream of seedlings, we 

 called it his queen. His No. 65, a 

 scarlet, is another very large bloom 

 with stifl stem. Mr. Dorner has two 

 large houses, 20x125, full of seedlings 

 of '97, 98, '99. A description of them 

 is impossible: they must be seen. The 

 only regret is that we had not more 

 time to stay and admire these beauti- 

 ful gems of his skill . 



We wish Mr. Dorner may live long 

 to enjoy their presence. KY.
