EARLY FLOWERING CHRYSANTHEMUMS 



So many persons have asked for varieties of Chrysanthemums that would flower 

 before frost comes in the fall. We here offer the very best early "Mums," so you can 

 see them flower in the garden. Price, 20 cts. each; the five for 85 cts. 

 CARRIE— Brightest yellow ; large and fine. 

 ESTELLE — Pure snow-white; literally covers the plant. 



GLORY OF THE PACIFIC — A lovely shade of brightest pink; large and fine. 

 MONROVIA — By far the best; very early; yellow, rich and fine. 

 OCTOBER FROST— Purest snow-white; fairly glistens in its purity, 



CARNATION--THE DIVINE FLOWER-PINKS 



For beauty of flower and color, ease of culture, certainty and freedom of bloom, 

 together with exquisite fragrance, this is well called the "Divine Flower." Plants Jn 

 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. 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 fifty 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 oflPer the finest varieties in existence. Your order is incomplete without some 

 Carnations. 



EXCELSIOR COLLECTION OF CHOICE CARNATIONS 



lOc ea<h; three for 25c; seven for 50c; set of nine Excelsior Carnations, postpaid, 65c. 



AFTERGL,OW — Very dwarf, and of a nice, bushy growth, forcing very long flower 

 stems, each individual flower possessing a stem varying from three to eight inches 

 in length. It has perfectly formed flowers; color a rich, bright rosy-red. We 

 unhesitatingly recommend this sort. 



ABUNDANCE — Flowers very large and perfect in 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. 



BONFIRE — 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 rich- 

 ness of color the most perfect Jacqueminot Roses. 



ESTEIiliE — One of the most fragrant Carnations we have seen. Color a clear, bright, 

 glowing scarlet; a most continuous bloomer and distinct in color from any other 

 sort offered. Greatly admired by all who have seen it growing here. 



ROSE PINK ENCHANTRESS— As large as the largest light pink ever offered. A few 

 blooms last season measured nearly four inches. It has taken first prizes wherever 

 offered. 



WHITCOMB RILEY— 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. 



WHITE CLOUD — This is the largest white Carnation in cultivation — often measures 

 four inches in diameter. The flowers are of the purest white, with petals of great 

 substance, making it one of the very best.

VICTORY — 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 iowers 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 forward stride in Carnations 

 is made more manifest in this than in any other since the advent of the Mrs. 

 Th»mas W. Lawson. It was raised by the same grower, and he pronounces En- 

 chantress 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.
