Variegated Lawson Carnation 



A PHENOMENAL VARIETY 



: only the best variegated carnation 

 i ever been Introduced. The popu- 

 ■olor, but Variegated I.awson has 

 own retail sales are any Index of 

 »rs of this sold more readily than 



This beautiful carnation, which we Introduced this spring, we are cwre will prove ii 

 ever sent out, but one of the most popuhir and profitable carnations In any TOlor that h 

 lar conception of a variegated flower ordinarily Is that It Is not so desirable as a solid 

 proved an exception to the rule, on account ot its exceeding beauty and delicacy, i; our 

 the popularity of a variety, then Variegated Lawson Is bound to be a winner, as the fie 

 tho.se of any other variety. 



Aside from Its Inherent value. It will also be sought for on account of the sensation whict It created last season In the 

 newspapers. Its merits having been heralded widely in the daily papers all over the country. The variegation 's very beau- 

 tiful—delicate carmine pencilings on Ivory-white ground. It has every good quality— beautiful flower, fine stiff stem, and la 

 exceedingly productive. W. N. Craig, who is an authority on everything pertaining to horticulture, says he liuows that It 

 will outbloom that popular variety, Mrs. M. A. Patten .three to one. The variegation is very similar, but Variegated Law- 

 son has a much better stem and Is much more productive. It has the Lawson habit and stem. 



White Lawson, which we introduced last year, has proved to be the best white carnation ever put on the market, and 

 we are satisfied that Variegated Lawson will be grown just as largely. Those who are growing moderate quantities of car- 

 nations and are obliged to grow several varieties In a house, will find it decidedly to their advantage to plant the different 

 Lawson spojts, as they all reiiuire the same treatment, and, consequently, will give the best results. A great many car- 

 BMtlons arc short scaso'ii vnrii^tics. but Variegated Lawson, like the rest of the La wson type, has a long season, .ns the flowers 

 do well durlnff the late sprint; ;iiid summer, when many varieties cease to be at their best.
