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 

 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. 

 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. 10 cents each. 



CHAMPION— This is by far the darkest 

 Carnation ever seen, and at the same 

 time the most abundant bloomer. Bril- 

 liant dark red. shaded with richest ma- 

 roon, 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 great- 

 ly 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 frag- 

 rant 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. 



HERALD— One of the grandest of all 

 Carnations for the garden, a dazzling 

 red color that nothing surpasses. 



MATCHIiESS— 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-fash- 

 ioned clove fragrance. 



MARGUERITE CARNATION 



REX, OR PAINTED LEAF BEGONIAS 



Rex Begonias are grown exclusively for the great beauty of their foliage, which 

 is large and beautifully variegated a peculiar silvery-metallic gloss. They make 

 excellent pot plants, and are also effective for bedding in shady corners. They 

 require light soil compound of rich loam, loose woods earth and sharp sand. They 

 like a moist, warm atmosphere, and should be kept shaded during the summer. Do 

 not allow the sun to strike the leaves when wet. and do not overwater the plants. 



COUNTESS I^OUTSE ERDODY— Distinct 

 from all other Begonias. The leaf has a 

 metallic luster, dark silvery-white in 

 the center; shading to coppery-pink to- 

 ward the edges of petals. The peculiar- 

 .ity which distinguishes it consists in the 

 fact that the two lobes at the base of 

 the leaf do not grow side by side, but 

 one of them winds in a spiral-like way 

 until in a full grown leaf there are four 

 of these spiral growths lying on top of 

 the leaf almost two inches high. 25 

 cents. 



KING OF REX (Magnifica)— Center and 



edge of leaf velvety emerald-green with 

 a broad silver zone. The foliage is mas- 

 sive and very striking. Everybody suc- 

 ceeds with it. Nothing handsomer. 25 

 cents. 

 VESrVE— This is the most brilliant col- 

 ored of all the Rex Begonias: center of 

 leaf a rich metallic-bronze with a luster 

 all its own. This center is surrounded 

 with a broad band of pink overlaid with 

 a silvery sheen. Shines like satin. 25 

 cents.
