This Novelty Collection of seven Monthly ever-blooming 
Carnation Pinks, 50 cents. cos : 
VICFORY—Another grand new variety so distinct that it stands 
alone. Awarded the Lawson Gold Medal, also the S. A. F. 
Medal at the Carnation Society’s convention. The flowers 
measure three and one-half inches when well grown. Long, 
strong stems, two to three feet. A healthy, vigorous grower. 
But its color—a glowing scarlet-crimson, intense and fiery with 
its rich ox-blood shadings, far and away beyond all other Car- 
nations. 
ENCHANTRESS—The Great $10,000 Beauty. The great for- 
ward stride in Carnations is made more manifest in this than in 
any other since the advent of the Mrs. Thomas W. Lawson. It 
was raised by the same grower, and he pronounces Enchantress 
superior to it. The flowers are three and one-half to four inches 
across when well grown. The color is a superb shade of rosy 
blush-pink . 
GAIETY—Color pure white, with a few narrow pink pencilings 
about the edge and through the flower. Size large and full, 
form very round and symmetrical. One of the best producers 
beginning to bloom early and continuing throughout the season 
without intermission.

HER MAJESTY—Purity of color fairly glistens all over this 
flower. Form is simply perfect, size larger than any other 
white, stem the strongest and about thirty inches long. It is 
bound to become the standard white for both winter and sum- 
mer blooming, as it will start blooming July 1st and continue 
until the same time a year later. 
LADY BOUNTIFUL—Largest flowers of the purest immaculate 
white; large-sized blooms. Valuable for garden planting and 
for pot culture. Very sweetly scented with that delightful old- 
fashioned clove fragrance. 
MAY DAY—This is the largest Carnation ever offered. It is a 
wonderfully free bloomer, considering the monster size the fowers 
attain. White, overlaid with pink, reminding one of the beau- 
ful tints seen in Azaleas. 
The Sensational Carnation, MRS. THOS. W. LAWSON—The 
grandest pink Carnation, a true exhibition variety. Bloom 
large and spreading, stem stiff; a good grower. All newcomers 
will have to meet comparison with the Lawson. Very free for 
so large a flower. The Lawson is the queen of a class all her 
own, just as American Beauty is among Roses. No grower can 
afford to be without it. Thirty thousand dollars was paid for 
this variety; highest price ever paid for any flower.
