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



CARNATION (The 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 tne "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 through- 

 out 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 to fifty degrees at night, and they will yield an immense num- 

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

 profusely during the summer. We offer the finest • 



varieties in existence. Tour order is incomplete 

 without some Carnations.

BENORA — The ground color is the faintest blush, 

 lightly penciled in soft pink. The bloom is fluffy 

 in appearance, exquisitely beautiful in form. One 

 of the grandest of all Carnations. 



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

 ness of color the most perfect Jacqueminot Roses.

 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 Carna- 

 tions we have seen. Color a clear, bright, glow- 

 ing scarlet; a most continuous bloomer and dis- 

 tinct in color from any other sort offered. Greatly 

 admired by all who have seen it growing here. 



HERALD — One of the grandest of all Carnations 

 for the garden, a dazzling red color that nothing 

 surpasses. 



MATCHLESS — Largest flowers of the purest im- 

 maculate white; large sized blooms. Valuable

 sweetly scented with that delightful old-fash- 

 ioned clove fragrance.

 this fine dark rose colored variety; very fragrant.
