VARIEGATED LAWSON CARNATION ^ a phenomenal variety ^ 



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



r ever sent out, but one of the most popular and profltable carnations in any color that has ever been introduced. The popu- 



Jj lar conception of a variegated flower ordinarily is that it is not so desirable as a .solid color, but Variegated I.awson has 



Z proved an exception to the rule, on account of its exceeding beauty and delicacy. If our own retail sales are any index of 



J the popularity of a variety, then Variegated Lawson is bound to be a winner, as the flowers 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 which it created last season in the 



J newspapers, its merits having been heralded widely in the daily papers all over the countrv. The variegation is very beau- 



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



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



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



y 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 carnatiou ever put on the market, and 

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

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

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

 V nations are short-season varieties, but Variegated Lawson, like the rest of the Lawson type, has a long season, as the flowers 



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