SEE OUR NEW CARNATIONS AT THE CONVENTION 



Winsor, White Enchantress, and Helen IYI. Gould 



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. GOULD. 



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, besides being 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.
