COLLECTION -« « << 
OF SIX BEAUTIFUL | 
There is no sweeter flower than 
the Carnation, and they are with- 
out question the best of all plants 
for Winter blooming. I have 
selected six of the very choicest 
kinds, ineluding all colors of this 
delightful flower, and know you 
will not be disappointed in get- 
ging these varieties. They are 
large plants, ready to begin bloom- 
ging at once. Many of them will 
dein bud when I send them to you. 
“Winter” Collection of Carnations (0 | 
cents each; or the set of six for 50 | 
cents, 
Field of Gold.—This is a pure yellow 
Carnation, of strong growth and 
very profuse flowering. There is 
no stripe at all in 1t, being a straight 
out-and-out deep, rich golden-yel- 
low, without any other color what- 
ever, under any circumstances, The 
florets are large and double, as in 
Buttercup, and, taken allin all, it is 
the very best yellow Carnation out. 
White Wings.—I believe this to be the 
finest new or old White Carnation 
in cultivation, The flowers are of 
the purest white, with petals of 
great substance, making it one of 
the best. It will keep a long time 
when cut, Fragrant and very pro- 
ductive of bloom, and, in all, one of 
the best Pinks for Winter biooming. 
airy Princess.—This is the most beau- 
tiful Carnation we know of. The 
flowers are very large and perfect 
in shape. The coloris a pure snow- 
white, delicately penciled with 
brightcrimson. Elegantly fringed. 
A very pleasing and charming va- 
riety. 
CARNATIONS. 
CARNATION, WHITE W1NGs. 
3. R. Freeman.—Very dwarf,and of a nice, bushy growth, forcing very long flower stems, each individual flower stem varying 
from three to eight inches in length, 
mend this sort. 
Tidal Wave.—Flowers very large and perfect in form. Color a bright, roSy 
expanded. A very healthy grower and remarkably free bloomer. 
It has perfectly formed flowers. Color a rich crimson-maroon, I unhesitatingly recome 
ink, with salmon shading when the flowers are fully 
Plant dwarf, growing about fourteeninches high. This I 
consider one of the best pink varieties ever offered, and an excellent variety for pot culture. 
Red Cross.—Thisis by far the grandest dark Carnation ever seen, and at the same time the most abundant bloomer. A brilliant 
dark red, shaded with the richest maroon, fringed petals, nearly 
in richness of color the most perfect Jacqueminot Roses, 
every flower being on a long stem. This variety surpasses 
THE OLD-TIME FAVORITE, 
STEPHANOTIS FLORIBUNDA. 
ws ALWAYS SCARCE. 
This is without doubt the rarest of all hard wood vines. It 
makes a rapid growth, and bears large clusters of deliciously 
fragrant white flowers. Nothing can compare with it for either 
the beauty of bloom or for its exquisite fragrance. I have 
procured a good stock of it, and offerit very cheap. It is never 
offered at less than 75 cents ora dollar. My price, only 25 cents. 
GENISTA CANARIENSIS. 
(Fountain of Gold.) 
This beautiful plant well deserves the great popularity it has 
gained in the past two years, The drooping branches are 
covered with delicate, sage-green foliage, and every twig is 
tipped with a long raceme of exquisite, pea-shaped blossoms of a 
pure canary color, almost hiding the foliage, and suggesting the 
name, “Fountain of Gold.’’? A fine companion for ‘‘Swainsonia 
Alba.” Price,20 cents each,

ING JASMINE. 
These beautiful shrubs are cultivated for the delicate fragrance 
of their elegant fiowers, which are borne in clusters. It is of

lent garden p'ant, growing rapidly. Foliage long and of a

dens, and also a favorite house plant inthe North. Has deep- 
green foliage similar to the Camellia, The white flowers, al- 
though small, are produced in great profusion, and emit the most 
pleasing fragrance. It has been well said that each individual
