CARNATIONS the divine flower PINKS 



For beauty of flower and color, ease of culture, certainty and freedom of bloom, together with exquisite fragrance, this is well called 

 the "Divine Flower." Plants in the open ground or in pots quickly make large specimens, and when brought indoors in the fall produce 

 an abundance of flowers throughout the entire winter. Carnation blooms are expensive; don't buy them — grow them yourself. Pinch 

 the plant back frequently during the summer season. In the fall bring indoors, place in a four or five-inch pot, keep in temperature ot 

 forty or fifty degrees at night, and they will yield an immense number of flowers with splendid stems, as fine as those so'.d by florists. 

 If not pinched in they will bloom profusely during the summer. We offer the finest varieties in existence. Your order is incomplete 

 without some Carnations. 



Excelsior Collection of 

 Choice Carnations

 for $1.00. 



CHAMPION — This is by far the darkest Carnation ever seen, 

 and at the same time the most abundant bloomer. Brilliant 

 dark red, shaded with richest maroon, fringed petals, nearly 

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

 richness of color the most perfect Jacqueminot Rose. 



GLORIOSA — This variety has been greatly admired wherever it 

 has been seen for its desirable color, being a beautiful light pink 

 satin color; flowers large size and very freely produced. Plant 

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



GOOD CHEER — One of the most fragrant Carnations we have 

 seen. Color a clear, bright, glowing scarlet; a most continuous 

 bloomer and distinct in color from any other sort offered 

 Greatly admired by all who have seen it growing here. 



MATCHLESS — Largest flowers of the purest immaculate white; 

 large sized blooms. Valuable for garden planting and for pot 

 culture. Very sweetly scented with that delightful old-fashioned 

 clove fragrance. 



SENSATION — Certainly a grand pink Carnation of the largest 

 size and deliciously scented.

Prize-Winning CHRYSANTHEMUMS 



SPRING IS THE PROPER TIME TO PLANT CHRYSANTHEMUMS FOR FALL BLOOMING 



Chrysanthemums deserve a place in every garden, coming as they do after the Summer flowers have begun to wane, and continuing 

 to bloom profusely m most places until well into November. The cultivation of these 'Mums is sirrple: Plant them in a rich, well-drained 

 piece of ground, setting out the plants a foot apart and pinching them once or twice during the months of May or June. They will branch 

 out and make beautiful bushes and give the cultivator more return fot the labor expended-than any plant in the garden.There is a place 

 fo'r Mums in every garden in America. The following varieties are the cream of a'l the "Mums" to date.
