COLLECT,ONOF FRAGRANT CARNATIONS 



Jubilee. — Very dwarf, and of a nice, busny 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 unhesitatingly recommend this sort. 



Yellow Jacket — The color ot the flower is orange, 

 flaked, and is broadly striped with delicate 

 carmine. Very bright and attractive. Very 

 fragrant. It has proved one of the freest bloom- 

 ers within our knowledge, single plants often 

 carrying fortv to sixty buds and blossoms at one 

 time. One of the very best varieties. 



Field of Gold. — This is a pure yellow Carnation, of 

 strong growth and very profuse flowering. 

 There is no stripe at all in it, being a straight 

 out-and-out deep, rich, golden-yellow, without 

 any other color whatever, under any circum- 

 stances. The florets are large and double, as in 

 Buttercup, and, taken all in all, it is the very 

 best yellow Carnation out. 



Fairy Princess. — This is the most beautiful Carna- 

 tion we know of. The flowers are very large 

 and perfect in shape. The color is a pure snow- 

 white, delicately penciled with bright crimson. 

 Elegantly fringed. A charming variety 



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. 



Silver Spray — We believe this to be the finest new 

 or old white Carnation in cultivation. The 

 flowers are of the purest white, with petals of 

 great substance, making it one of the best. It 

 will keep a long time when cut. Fragrant and 

 very productive of bloom, and, in all, one of the 

 best pinks for Winter blooming. 



Delia Pox. — Its color is almost indescribable. Of a 

 rosy, orange shade, striped and flaked with 

 carmine, never bursts its calyx, is very free and 

 early flowering, and can always be cut with a 

 long stem, a most desirable feature in a colored 

 Carnation nowadays. It. is very easily grown 

 and sure t<"> bloom. 



President Garfield.— This isby far the grandest dark 

 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.

 sensation everywhere. The flowers are very finely shaped, 

 and they often measure four and one-half inches in diameter.

 red. 



Anna Webb.— The color is of the darkest and most intense vel- 

 vety-crimson maroon, verv dark, and at the same time very 

 bright. 



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. 

 It is the strongest and sweetest scented Carnation we know. 

 A perfect beauty.

 extremely vigorous growth, very large flowers, perfect 

 shape, purest white Indeed, for size and freedom of bloom, 

 purity of color, which is immaculate, sweetness of perfume 

 that is delicious, vigorous growth, this variety has no equal. 

 The best white by far out of a dozen varieties we have of 

 that color. 



Grace Fardon. — This variety has been greatly admired wherever 

 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. 



Rose Queen. — One of the most fragrant Carnations we have 

 seen. Color a pure, soft rose, a most continuous bloomer and 

 distinct in color from any other sort offered. Greatly admired 

 by all who have seen it growing here. 



Secretary Blaine. — Another grand Carnation, with enormous- 

 sized flowers, often measuring three and a half inches in 

 diameter, and at the same time being one ot the freest bloom- 

 ing Carnations we have ever seen. Ground color of flower 

 the purest white, very handsomely penciled with the richest 

 crimson. 



Sunrise. — An entirely distinct color, orange ground, striped with 

 crimson, flowers full, double fringed, and of rich color and 

 fragrance, unsurpassed by any variety in its profusion of 

 bloom, and of a strong, vigorous, health'y growth, hitherto 

 unknown in the yellow or orange colors. A variety certain 

 to become a standard sort, as it possesses every good quality.
