Carnation Registered. 



By the Chicago Carnation Co., 

 Joliet, 111. — Beau Brummel. A large 

 white overlaid with crimson on the 

 order of Prosperity, having more 

 color than this variety; a cross be- 

 tween a white seedling of our own 

 and Harlowarden; an early, free and 

 continuous bloomer, producing large, 

 well formed flowers on good strong 

 stems. 



By Baur & Smith, Indianapolis, Ind. 

 — Saint Nicholas. The brightest scarlet 

 we have ever seen in any carnation, 

 exactly identical with the geranium 

 Trego in color. Does not dull in age- 

 ing. Large bloom on fine long and 

 strong stem and very free. At its 

 best during midwinter, but comes in 

 early and continues late. Clean, vig- 

 orous., upright grower, with strong 

 constitution. Both parents seedlings. 



May. — A full shade deeper and 

 brighter than Enchantress. Bloom of 

 large size and well formed, opens up 

 the center petals as soon as the bloom 

 is unfolded. Good substance and 

 never bursts the calyx. Stem of good 

 medium length and as strong as Law- 

 hon. A fine, healthy grower and very 

 free; comes in very early and never 

 lets up until midsummer. Both par- 

 ents seedlings.
