Grand New Perpetual Blooming Carnation "Anna 

 H. Shaw." 



Without exception this is the best cut-flower white Carnation that 

 has ever been offered. It has every qualification for cut-flowers and 

 if it does as well in the east as in California, will be a perfect boon to the 

 cut-flower trade, and for the amateur it is equally desirable as it is very 

 easily grown and gives an immense number of flowers as a bedding plant. 

 It grows readily from cuttings and forms strong bushy plants without 

 pinching, and in a very short time is ready for bloom. The foliage is 

 strong and of a rich color, crisp and fresh; the flowers are above medium 

 size without disbudding, and in the garden one stem will frequently give 

 four or more perfect flowers; they are very double, of perfect form, petals 

 delicately toothed. The flowers never burst, and exquisitely fragrant. 

 One of the greatest recommendations of this Carnation is the reserve 

 foliage always on hand for fresh flowers, so many varieties seem to put 

 forth all their efforts and then come to a standstill. Everyone should 

 trv it. Rooted cuttings 75c. per doz., $5 per 100; strong plants $1.25 per 

 dJz.,$8per 100.

"AUSTRIA," "ITALIA," and "BURBANK." Beautiful as Orchids. 

 65c. per doz. 



Set of Six New Seedling Single Geraniums. 



"Symphony in Red." A magnificent geranium, flowers dazzling 

 crimson-scarlet, very velvety and beautifully formed; each individual 

 floret is so arranged as to lie perfectly even, giving a roundness and 

 smoothness to the entire truss that is most unusual; flowers have a large 

 white eve. 



"Gaiety." A seedling from Souv. de Miranda, but much handsomer; 

 the flowers are almost a third larger, and even more beautifully variegated 

 than the parent; the white in the lower petals is more clear. 



"White Pearl." A pure pearly white, very large, with perfectly 

 round flowers, very large trusses borne on long stems; a valuable addition 

 to the list of white geraniums. 



"Fair Maiden." A very charming companion to "rink Pansy."
