"Novelty" Collec- 

 tion of Choice New 



Monthly Carnations 



'The Divine 

 Flower" 



Price, 10 cents each; any three of your selection for 25 cents. 

 This Novelty Collection of seven Monthly ever-blooming 

 Carnation Pinks, 50 cents. 



ADONIS — 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 Carnations. 



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. Law- 

 son. 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 eolor is a 

 superb shade of rosy blush-pink. 



GAIETY— Color pure white, with a few narrow pink pencil- 

 ings about the edge and through the flower. Size large and 

 full, form very round and symmetrical. One of the best pro- 

 ducers, 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 

 summer 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. 



New Fancy Carnation, PROSPERITY— This is the largest Car- 

 nation ever offered. It is a wonderfully free bloomer, con- 

 sidering the monster size the flowers attain. White, over- 

 laid with pink, in mottles reminding one of the beautiful 

 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 newcom- 

 ers 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 dol- 

 lars was paid for this variety ; highest price ever paid for 

 any flower.
