OUR 



CARNATION NOVELTIES 



For 1907 



Winsor, White Enchantress and Helen M. Gould 



ONE way to judge carnations is to see them on the exhibition tables. A better and more convincing way 

 is to see them growing ; therefore we cordially invite all carnation growers to visit us and judge for 



themselves regarding the superiority of the above-named sorts. 



Our carnation houses are at Scarborough-on-Hudson, (not Tarrytown). Friends who desire to 

 visit us can take the N. Y. C. & H. R. R. R. from New York. Trains leave there every half hour. Scar- 

 borough is the first station north of Tarrytown. Our grounds adjoin the station, and the greenhouses are 

 about five minutes' walk from the station. 



We are growing 25,000 plants of Winsor for cut flowers, alone, for the New York market this 

 season, which shows the faith we have in it. This will also enable visitors to see it growing in quantity, and 

 besides that, will give us enough plants to get a great abundance of fine, healthy cuttings without over-prop- 

 agating. We have already booked a large quantity among the large growers, and anticipate for this variety 

 the largest sale of any new carnation that has ever been distributed, as large growers who have seen it are 

 enthusiastic in regard to its value. Those who have seen it have immediately placed large orders for it, so 

 we recommend those who have not ordered to place order without delay, so as to insure early delivery. 



For full description of these three valuable novelties, see our wholesale price list. Of course, we 

 shall have all of these varieties on exhibition at Toronto, where they can be seen, and where they will speak 

 for themselves. 



Wholesale Prices Rooted Cuttings Spring, 1907 



WINSOR.— Soft silvery pink. The best color, 

 best keeper, best shipper, best seller — -best every 

 way. J12.00 per loo; §100.00 per 1000. 



WHITE ENCHANTRESS.— Has the large size, 

 long stem, productive habit of Enchantress, but is 

 pure white. §12.00 per 100; Sioo.oo per 1000. 



HELEN M. GOULD.— A beautiful sport of En- 

 chantress. Ground color lovely shade of silvery pink, 

 with very fine pencilings of carmine, making an ex- 

 ceedingly exquisite combination. While on close 

 observation this variety is variegated, the general 

 effect is one beautiful tone of dark pink. Exceed- 

 ingly valuable, because it combines the earliness, free- 

 dom, long stem and large size of Enchantress, giving 

 another color possessing all the other desirable qual- 

 ities of Enchantress. §12 per 100; §roo per 1000. 



BEACON. — Orange-scarlet. A vigorous, healthy 

 grower, of ideal habit. A profuse bloomer, with long 

 stems. §r2.oo per 100; §100.00 per 1000. 



ARISTOCRAT.— Cerise-pink. Will be planted 

 largely in place of Lawson. §12.00 per 100 ; §100.00 

 per 1000. 



MELODY. — Daybreak sport of Lawson, about 

 the same color as Enchantress, but much brighter, 

 and does not fade like Enchantress. .\lso a much 

 better keeper and shipper. Those who grow the 

 Lawson varieties exclusively will find this very valu- 

 able and desirable, because it gives an improved En- 

 chantress color, which is so popular, and at the same 



time can be grown in the same house with the other 

 Lawsons. An extra fine thing in every way and in 

 great demand. A great addition to the Lawson 

 class. §1000 per 100; §75.00 per 1000. 



ROSE PINK ENCHANTRESS.— A sport of En- 

 chantress. Color, dark rose pink. §7.00 per 100; 

 §60.00 per 1000. 



WHITE PERFECTION.— A novelty of 1906, and 

 a variety for which there is a great demand this sea- 

 son. A third larger than Lady Bountiful and a more 

 perfect flower. §6.00 per 100; §50.00 per 1000. 



VICTORY. — Scarlet. This is giving great sat- 

 isfaction, being a free blooming, profitable scarlet. 

 §6.00 per 100 ; §50.00 per 1000.

 this is superior to many stocks of Red Lawson that 

 we have seen. §4.00 per 100 ; §30.00 per 1000. 



VARIEGATED LAWSON.-The most produc- 

 tive of the variegated sorts. A favorite. Outblooms 

 Mrs. M. A. Patten. §4.00 per 100 ; §30.00 per 1000.
