CARNATIONS! 



VARIEGATED LAWSON— This variety^ introduced by us this season, is sure to meet with 

 popular favor. It is a sport from MRS. THOS. W. LAWSON, pore ivory white, with delicate carmine pen- 

 cilingfs. Mr. W. N. Ctaig, an authority on everything pertaining to horticulture, states that he believes 

 this will outbloom the favorite, MRS. M. A. PATTEN, two to one. For some reason or other, the stem seems 

 to be longer than that of MRS. THOS. W. LAWSON, and the flowers are less inclined to burst. It is a beau- 

 tiful variegated variety, and one that is sure to be in demand on account of its delicate pencilings. It is 

 superb in every respect. Our exclusive purchase of this variety has created a sensation in the daily press 

 of the country. Per hundred, $12.00; per thousand, $IOO.OO« 



FIANCEE— The Queen of Pink Carnations— In a 



dais by itself. Magnificent flowers; strictly fancy in 

 every respect. Per hundred, $12.00; per thousand, $100.00. 



CARDINAL— Bright Cardinal or Crimson-Scarlet. Per 

 hundred, $12.00; per thousand, $103.00. 



FRED BURKI — Recommended as an extra free-blooming 

 white yariet/ and a claimant for popular favor. Per 

 hundred, $12.00; per thousand, $100.00. 



THE BEST OF LAST SEASON'S NOVELTIES 



AND OLDER STANDARD SORTS 



WHITE liAWSON— We consider this variety, which we 

 introduced last season, the Finest White Carnation ever 

 sent out. It has given great satisfaction. When left on 

 the plants until fully developed, the flowers are mucl\ 

 larger than MRS. THOS. W. LAWSON. Nothing exceb it 

 for freedom of bloom, fine keeping qualities, and general 

 all-round value* We believe that this will occupy among 

 White Carnations the same place that MRS. THOS. W. 

 LAWSON does among pinks. Remember that we are 

 headquarters for it. Splendid stock ready for immediate 

 delivery. Per hundred, $7.(0 ; per thousaod, $60.00. 



DAHEIM — A fine crimson introduced by us last year, with 

 the style and habit of MRS. THOS. W. LAWSOK; might be 

 called a CRIMSON LAWSON; as it has all the char- 

 acteristics of that variety as far as freedom of flowering, 

 habit of growth, etc, are concerned. It has grand, stiff 

 stems, calyx never bursts, and it is a free and abundant 

 bloomer, developing very quickly. We believe this to 

 be the best all-round Crimson Carnation. Per hundred, 

 $6.00; per thousand, $50.00. 



LADY BOUNTIFUL— A magnificent white of last sea- 

 son's introduction. Per hundred, $6.00; per thousand, $50. 



ENCHANTRESS — This magnificent Carnation is un- 

 equaled for size, beautiful color light, silvery pink and 

 freedom of bloom. It brings the very highest market 

 prices, and is in great demand. Per hundred, $ 1.00 ; per 

 thousand, $35.00. 



MRS. M. A. PATTEN— This grand variegated Carna- 

 tion has given splendid satisfaction. Per hundred, $6.00; 

 per thousand, $50.00. 



MRS. THOS. W. LAWSON— Tlie Standard Dark 

 Pink— Per hundred, $3.00; per thousand, $25.00. 



PROSPERITY— A magnificent fancy sort, entirely dis- 

 tinct from others. A sterling variety. Per hundred, 

 $3.00; Per thousand, $25.00. 



We are also pleased to announce that we have been appointed distributing agent for the sale of VICTORY, and that all 

 orders for this variety should be sent direct to us. We are now prepared to book orders for this variety for deUvery, Spring, 

 1906. We have watched this Carnation for some time, and beUeve that it is the best scarlet ever offered, with good stems, flowers 

 of the largest size; a magnificent keeper and shipper, and an exceedingly free and early bloomer. While the flowers of this variety 

 are of the largest size, and it wiU rank in the fancy class, its freedom of bloom and general good quaUties will make it a bread- 

 and-butter scarlet. There is a great demand for a good scarlet at the holiday time, and the flowers of this variety brought 25 cents 

 each last Christmas, which is an indication of its popularity.
