When you own this collection of Carnae 
Della Fox.—Its coloris 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 entice in the colored Carnation 
nowadays. 
Bon Ton.—This is by far the darkest Carnation ever seen, and 
at the same time the most abundant bioomer, Brilliant dark 
red, shaded with the richest maroon, fringed petals, nearly every 
flower being onalong stem. This variety surpasses in richness 
of color the most perfect Jacqueminot Roses. 
Abutidatce.—Flowers very large and perfectin 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. 
Alasta.—This beautiful white Carnation is remarkable for its 
extremely vigorous Snowe, 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 de- 
licious, vigorous growth, this variety has no equal. The best 
white by far out of a dozen varieties we have of that color. 
Armazitidy.—The ‘Pink of Perfection.” Probably the most 
beaututul Carnation yet introduced,and must become very popu- 
lar. Flowers are a pure satiny-white, and marked and shaded 
with epevieintnecod size, perfect form, never bursts. Itis the 
strongest and sweetest-scented Carnation we know. A perfect 
beauty. 
Field of Gold.—This is a pure yellow Carnation, of strong 
growth and very profuse flowering. There is no stripe at allin 
it, being a straight out-and-out deep, rich golden-yeliow, with- 
out any color whatever, under any circumstances. ‘Lhe florets 
are large and double, as in Buttercup, and, taken all in all,it 
is the very best yellow Carnation out. 
Fairy Priticess.—This is the most beautiful Carnation we 
know of. Tne tlowers are very large and perfectin shape The 
color is a pure snow-white, delicately penciled with bright crim- 
son. Eiegantly fringed. A charming variety.
