NEW RED CARNATION 



Extra large; averages three and one-half inch^. Color, pure bright 

 red, neither too dark nor too light. Free bloomer, commencing to flower in Octo- 

 ber, and by Christmas is in full crop and continues steady until the end of the season. 

 Calyx never bursts. Stems, long and stiff. By Christmas eighteen to twenty-four 

 inches long. Splendid shipper and entirely free of disease. Easy as Lawson to grow. 



The O. P. BASSETT has won first prize wherever exhibited except at the National Carnation Society meet- 

 ing at Toronto, where it took the second prize, being beaten by Alma Ward in the contest for best vase of 100 any var- 

 iety or color. This record speaks for itself. We grew this from a seed of Prosperity X Crane five years ago, and 

 have gradually increased the stock until today we have (48,000) forty-eight tholisand plants now benched, besides 

 about (20,000) twenty thousand more in the field. This enables us to easily produce (300,000) three hundred 

 thousand cuttings, ready by January and February, and in order to sell such & large quantity of cuttings, we have 

 put the price down low, as follows:
