h we introduced this spring, we are svire will pro^ 

 of the most popular and proHtable carnations in any r'olor thi 

 egated flower ordinarily is that it Is not so desirable as n s< 

 ■xceptlon tc the rule, on ncconut of Its ex'_^eding beauty and delicacy. xS 

 the piipulaiity' of a variety, then Variegated Lawson is bound to be a winuer, as the 

 those of any other variety. 



Aside from Its inherent value. It will al.so be sought for on account of the sensation whiei 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- 

 tifni-dellcate carmine pencllings on Ivory-white ground. It has every good quality— beautiful flower, flne stiff stem, and Ih 

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

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

 sou 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 And it decidedly to their advantage to plant the different 

 Lawson sports, as they all require the same treatment, and, consequently, will give the best results. A great nianv car- 

 nations are short season varieties, lint Variegated Lawson, like the rest of the Lawson type, h.as a long season, ns the flowers 

 do well dnrlMg the Lite s|)rlng and summer, when many varieties cease to be at their best.
