Variegated Lawson Carnation 



A PHENOMENAL VARIETY 



This beautiful carnation, which we introduced this spring, we are s«re will prove not only the best variegated carnation 

 ever sent out but one of the most popular and profitable carnations In any jolor that has ever been Introducfd. The popu- 

 lar conception of a variegated flower ordinarily is that it Is not so desirable ai, » solid color, but Variegated I.awsou has 

 Droved an exception to the rule, on account of its exceeding beauty and delicacy. ±: our own retail sales are any Index of 

 the popularity of a variety, then Variegated Lawson is bound to be a winner, as the nc-rs of this sold more readily than 

 those of any other variety. 



Aside from Its Inherent value, it will also be sought for on account of the sensation whuL 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 quail t.v— beautiful flower, fine stiff stem, and Is 

 exceedingly productive. W. N. Craig, who is an authority on everything pertaining to horticulture, says he knows th 

 will outblooni that popular variety, Mrs. M. A. Patten .ttree to one. The variegation is very similar, but Variegated 

 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, 

 we are satisfied that Variegated Lawson will be grown just as ' ' ' ' 



nations and are obliged to grow several varieties In a house, wil 

 Lawson sports, as they all require the same treatment, a; 

 nations are short-season varieties, but Variegated Lawson.
