NEW CARNATIONS AT COTTAGE 

 GARDENS. 



Among the sterling new productions 

 in carnations holding the centre of the 

 stage at Cottage Gardens at the pres 

 ent time none impress the visitor more 

 strongly than Alma Ward. This re- 

 gal variety is of Prosperity ancestry, 

 having the characteristic large petal 

 formation of the parent, but blooming 

 much more luxuriantly. The color at 

 first is slightly flushed pink, but when 

 fully mature the flower is pure white. 

 An ideal grower is Rachel Marie 

 Thompson. This is in the popular 

 cerise color and has every indication 

 of a prosperous career. Slightly light- 

 er in color, not unlike that of Ethel 

 Crocker, is the variety known as 569. 

 This is one of the most profuse 

 bloomers, with flower of medium size, 

 a disposition to go striped ami mot- 

 tled with a paler tint being its only 

 noticeable fault. 



504 is one that Mr. Ward thinks will 

 butt up against Aristocrat. 508 is not 

 unlike the preceding, but shows a 

 more even color. 503 reminds one 

 much of Nelson Fisher. A pink one, 

 known as the Pink Harry Fenn. is 

 similar to that excellent variety in 

 growth and contour of flower. 2651 

 is a Prosperity seedling, prettily 

 flushed on a white ground. 2653 is a 

 promising white. Among older varie- 

 ties Lady Bountiful is holding on 

 splendidly, an occasional half-single 

 flower being its only deficiency. Oc- 

 toroon maintains its position as a 

 steady goer among the money-making 

 crimsons. There are seedlings in- 

 numerable from which we cannot fail 

 to hear sensational returns before 

 long. At present, of course, Robert 

 Craig is the admired of admirers, and 

 every day brings pilgrimages from far 

 and near.
