SEE OUR NEW CARNATIONS AT THE CONVENTION 



Winsor, White Enchantress, and Helen M. Could 



This is one way to judge carnations. A better and more convincing way is to see them growing. There is 

 nothing about any of these varieties that we wish to conceal; therefore, we cordially invite all 

 carnation growers to pay us a visit. Come at any time. 



WINSOR. 



This is sure to prove a winner. Nothing approaches it in color, which is a clear silvery pink — a shade 

 between Enchantress and Mrs. Thos. W. Lawson — and much more beautiful than either. In fact, it is just 

 the shade that we have all been trying to get. The color will make it sell in any market. The stem is just 

 right. The flowers are considerably larger than Lawson and much better shaped. As a grower it has every- 

 thing that can be desired. So far we have not seen any large-flowering variety quite so free as Winsor. 



WHITE ENCHANTRESS. 



This is a pure white sport of Enchantress, which is at once the most popular and most profitable car- 

 nation grown to-day; and this on account of its size and stem and freedom with which it blooms. White 

 Enchantress is identical in every respect but color. Those who desire quality as well as quantity will find 

 it in White Enchantress. 



HELEN M. COULD. 



This is a beautiful variegated sport of Enchantress. The ground color is a lovely shade of clear pink, 

 the variegation carmine, making an exquisite combination of colors, beside? bPing something distinctly new. 

 At a short distance the variegation does not show at all, the general effect being a beautiful shade of dark 

 ' pink. Growth, habit, size, and stem are the same as Enchantress. 



We have fine stocks, from which we can deliver healthy cuttings of Variegated Lawson, White 

 Lawson, Red Lawson. Enchantress, Mrs. M. A. Patten, Lady Bountiful, etc. 



Our Variegated Lawson is all that we claimed for it last season, and is giving the fullest satisfaction 

 everywhere— the best in the variegated class. 



Come and inspect our stock of new and standard sorts for yourselves.

MY MARYLAND 



We, the II. Weber .V Sons Co. of Oakland, Md.. respect- 

 fully announce that The E. G. Hill Co. of Richmond. Ind., 

 have withdrawn from the contract made with us last Spring 

 whereby they would have jointly with us, disseminated our 

 new white carnation, Mv Maryland, 



The variety ha*, been on trial at Richmond, (3,000 plants), 

 Brooklyn, (300 plants), Philadelphia, (1000 plants) and Toronto, 

 (1000 plants). 



Reports from the first two named places characterize the 

 variety as being practically worthless, while from Toronto and 

 Philadelphia favorable reports indicate that the variety is 

 bearing out our claims for it. 



Our own stock al Oakland is in elegant shape. An ex- 



we believe will succeed everywhere.

JESSICA, 



ANNOUNCEMENT TO THE TRADE: 



tremely wet Summer necessitated the holding of stock in a 

 semi-dormant condition after being housed Aug. 15th to Sept. 

 1st. thus making stork too late for the Fall shows. Since 

 I i.e. isi we have been cutting grand blooms, and to prove our 

 claims for the variety we invite all interested to come to 

 Oakland and look it over. While it is a source of regret 

 to us that the variety has not proven satisfactory in all places 

 tried, we are satisfied that it will prove our claims for it in 

 :ii least some places besides our own. 



We therefore announce that we will disseminate My 

 Maryland as per our advertisements, but before shipping any 

 stock we give to each and every one the right to cancel all or 

 any portion of their orders. 



It is even better than last year. As a red and white it has no com- 

 for both varieties $2.50 per doz,, $12.00 per 11 hi, $100.00 per 1000.
