CARNATIONS 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 the "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 throughout 

 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 fiftv degrees at night, and they will yield an immense number 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. Your order is incomplete without some 

 Carnations.

 Choice 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 



maroon, fringed petals, nearly every flower being 



on a long stem. This variety surpasses in richness 



of color the most perfect Jacqueminot Roses. 

 GLORIOSA — This variety has been greatly admired 



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 Carnations 



we have seen. Color a clear, bright, glowing scar- 

 let; a most continuous bloomer and distinct 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 sur- 

 passes. 



MATCHLESS — Largest flowers of the purest immac- 

 ulate white; large sized blooms. Valuable for gar- 

 den planting and for pot culture. Very sweetlv 

 scented with that delightful old-fashioned clove 

 fragrance. 



ROSETTE — No other Carnation we know of equals 

 this fine dark rose colored variety; very fragrant. 



SENSATION — Certainly a grand pink Carnation of the 



largest size and deliciously scented. Carnation Flowers.
