 own this collection of Carnations you can rest assured that no person has any 

 ce, 8 cents each, or the entire Bon Ton Collection of eight varieties 



BON TON. This is by far the darkest Carnation ever seen, 



'and at the same time the most abundant bloomer. Brilliant, dark 



red, shaded with the richest maroon, fringed petals, nearly every 



flower being on a long stem. This variety surpasses in richness 



of color the most perfect Jacqueminot Roses. 



JACK FROST. This variety is the largest white Carnation 

 in cultivation. Often measures four inches in diameter. The 

 flowers are of the purest white, with petals of great substance, 

 making it one of the very best. 



ABUNDANCE. Flowers very large and perfect in form. 

 Color a bright, rosy-pink, with salmon shading when the flowers 

 are fully expanded. A very healthy grower and remarkably- 

 free bloomer. Plant dwarf, growing about fourteen inches high. 

 This we consider one of the best pink varieties ever offered, and 

 an excellent variety for pot culture. 



JUBILEE. Very dwarf, and of a nice, bushy growth, forcing 

 very long flower stems, each individual flower possessing a stem 

 varying from three to eight inches in length. It has perfectly 

 formed flowers. Color a rich, bright dazzling scarlet. We un- 

 hesitatingly recommend this sort. 



FIELD OF GOLD. This is a pure yellow Carnation, of 

 strong growth and very profuse flowering. There is no stnpe at 

 all in it, being a straight out-and-out deep, rich, golden-yellow, 

 without any color whatever, under any circumstances. The 

 florets are large and double, as in Buttercup, and, taken all is 

 all, it is the very best yellow Carnation out. 



ARMAZINDY. The "Pink of Perfection." Probably the 

 most beautiful Carnation yet introduced, and must become very 

 popular. Flowers are a pure satiny-white, and marked and 

 shaded with rosy-pink, good size, perfect form, never bursts. R 

 is the strongest and sweetest-scented Carnation we know. A 

 perfect beauty. 



PAINTED LADY. Another grand Carnation, with enor- 

 mous-sized flowers, olten measuring three and a half inches is 

 diameter, and at the same time being one of the freest-blooming 

 Carnations we have ever seen. Ground color of flowers the 

 purest white, very handsomely penciled with the richest crimson 



TRIUMPH. This variety has been greatly admired wher- 

 ever it has been seen for its desirable color, being a beautiful, 

 pure rich pink, flowers large size and very freely produced. 

 Plant of grand habit and vigorous growth. It is a superb variety ^
