ELLA V. BAIXES, THE WOMAN FLORIST, SPRINGFIELD, OHIO 



HE DIVINE FLOWER PINKS 



For beauty of flower and color, ease of culture, certainty and freedom of bloom, together with ex- 

 quisite 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 a temperature of forty or fifty degrees at night, and thev will vield an immense number of 

 flowers with splendid stems, as fine as those sold by florists. If not pinched in they will bloom profuse- 

 ly during the summer. We otter the finest varieties in existence. Your order is incomplete without some 

 Carnations.
