Aside from its inherent value. It will also be sought for on account of the

 will outldooni that popular variety, ^^^s. M. A. Patti'n ,fhree 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 mode 

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

 Lawson sports, as they all require the same treatment, and, consequently, will give the best re; 

 nations are short-season varieties, but Variegated Lawson, like the rest of the Lawson type, has ! 

 do well during the late spring and summer, when many varieties cease to be at their best.
