A novelty of extraordinary value to the florist. Seed sown in October will com- 

 mence flowering March 15th and continue through April and May. Three to four extra 

 large blooms are produced on long stems from 16 to 20 inches in length. The culture 

 of this variety is the same as all other winter-flowering sorts, except that it should be 

 sown during the month of October. Our seed is original greenhouse-grown stock. Per 

 oz., $1.00; 13.50 per 14-lb.; per lb., $12.00.

 of England, who is growing it this sea- 

 son and is distributing agent for Eng- 

 land and the continent, writes as fol- 

 lows: "Our plants are beautiful and 

 bushy and Philadelphia is certainly a 

 doer." Mr. Skidelsky says that in the 

 Detroit market Philadelphia is the prin- 

 ci{)al carnation at this season, coming 

 in quantity, the flowers being fine.
