Description of Our New White Carnation 



GEORGIA 



The color of Georgia is a pure white with large 

 and beautifully fringed flowers measurine as lariie 

 as four inches, with a very full center, which gives it 

 a good form. 



The stem holds the flower up at all times, giving 

 long steins early in the season, as we have a bouse 

 in bloom where tne stems at the present time, Sep- 

 tember 15, average 2( inches in length. 



The growth Ih ideal, having the dark green cast 

 that all growers like. 



The plants are *iuick to recover after planting 

 from the field and produce as many or more flowers 

 than Enchantress. 



It has stood the necessary test as to its shipping 

 and keeping qualities and has been satisfactory in 

 every case, although we have shippef' it as far west 

 as Missouri and as far south as Florida. It has been 

 called by all who have seen It the finest Avhite yet 

 put on the market, as it is as wonderful in ({uantity 

 as it is in <iuality.

golden wave, hollybock, gaillardia, peo- 

 nies, etc., and now our back way is more 

 beautiful than our front, and more at- 

 tention is paid to it by the public than 

 any -work we have ever done. The adver- 

 tising it has done for us has more than 

 paid the cost. The presiaent of the 

 American Civic Association, in his talk 

 before the American Association of Nur- 

 serymen at Milwaukee, said that he had 

 lately visited Greensboro, N. C, and that 

 I had taken him out to our place; he 

 stated, of course, by the front way, but 

 he was mistaken in that, for I brought 

 him up the back way, as it showed up 

 better tlian the front. 



Now look around your premises, your 

 nearby highways, and if nature has not 

 done her work to satisfy your eye, and 

 that of tiie public, then assist nature 



until you are pleased with the result. 

 While it will cost some money, yet it 

 will be a big ad for you. 



Our nearby city, Greensboro. N. C, 

 has a Civic League or improvement soci- 

 ety which has been in operation about 

 three years. They see that all parts 

 of the city are cleaned up, and any law 

 that they see is needed for their work, 

 they go before the aldermen and have it 

 passed. They offered a premium of $25 

 for the best kept cottage yard, .$15 for 

 the second best, and $10 for the third 

 best. That stimulated a rivalry, and im- 

 provement began on every hand. Every 

 vacant lot is being cleaned up and beau- 

 tified, instead of being an eyesore to the 

 town, and now the town looks as if it 

 wore on dress parade all the time. 



So, brother nurserymen, you can and 



ought to lead in this all-important civic 

 improvement. Increase your ornamentals 

 of all kinds, and use to advantage in thus 

 beautifying your homes, highways and 

 general surroundings. I do not pretend 

 to tell you what to plant, but plant 

 things that thrive well in your immediate 

 locality and which naturally suggest 

 themselves. J. Van Lindlky.

Waukesha, Wis. — Fire of unknown 

 origin, starting in a barn, destroyed the 

 old greenhouse of Schneck & Bliese, near 

 the state industrial school, with a loss 

 of $2,500. The new buildings, recently 

 completed, wore saved.
