CARNATIOX "MRS. E. A. N^ELSON.' 



79 



MRS. E. A, NELSON. 



This carnation originated in Indianapolis, Ind., with E. A. Nelson. It 

 has been tested for four years, which places it beyond the mutation which 

 often waits on new carnations. 



The plant has a strong constitution, is a vigorous grower, and produces 

 its flowers early, profusely and continuously, on strong stems from two to 

 two and one-half feet long. The flower is a beautiful iridescent pink, from 

 31^ to 4 inches in diameter, and possesses an absolutely unbursting calyx, 

 and has remarkable keeping qualities. It has won records of 91 'i to 

 94 points from critical judges and has been the admiration at every carna- 

 tion exhibition where shown. It will be on the market in the spring of 

 1902. The sales represented by E. A. Nelson, Indianapolis, Ind., and S. S. 

 Skidelsky, Philadelphia, Pa.
