Cyclamen Persicum 



Giganteum. 



Last autumn when in our " Guide" w© 

 emphatically pronounced this charming 

 plant the most popular of all the orna- 

 mental plants in our green-houses— an 

 opinion based not on our own preference 

 alone but on the unanimous verdict of our 

 customers— and predicted for it a greater popularity 

 than ever, we were prepared for a big demand, but 

 the result far exceeded our expectations. Every 

 plant of the large stock we had prepared for sale 

 was disposed of and still the demand continued 

 and many customers were turned away very much 

 disappointed. This season our stock is much larger. 

 The plants are simply superb. They are large, strong 

 and healthy and provided with a great abundance of flower 

 buds, which are j ust beginning to shoot up and open into bloom. 

 For conservatory or parlor culture, and for supplying cut flow- 

 ers, the Cyclamen has few if any equals. All lovers of plants 

 are familiar with it, but we are safe in saying very few have 

 ever had the pleasure of seeing it grown to such perfection 

 as those we offer. 



CARNATIONS. 



So assiduously is the hybridizer at work with this 

 genus of plants that every year a number of new 

 varieties are introduced as claimants for first place in 

 the already very long list of excellent kinds now in 

 cultivation. The consequence is we have to try a 

 great many, and exercise the utmost care and judge- 

 ment so as to honestly discriminate in favor of only 

 the very best, as it would be quite impossible and 

 even useless to list all of even those which might be 

 deemed quite worthy. The following varieties are 

 unquestionably the leading ones, being so acknowl- 

 edged by all the best Carnation growers. Our stock 

 is in excellent condition. 



Daybreak — A more appropriate name could not 

 have been selected for this beautiful novelty. It 

 cannot be too highly praised. The color is a beautiful 

 flesh pink, suggesting the first faint tints of sunrise. 

 The form of the flower is perfect, and the habit of the 

 plant is all that can be desired. Each, 20c. ; doz., $2.00. 

 Silver Spray— Best white variety ever produced. 

 Flowers borne on long stems, large and perfect in 

 form, and never burst. A most profuse bloomer and 

 very fragrant. 

 Grace Wilder — An excellent variety and now very popu- 

 lar. Its flowers are always in great demand. They are a 

 delicate pink and are profusely produced. 



Tidal Wave — An excellent variety. The color is a beau- 

 tiful clear pink. In habit the plant is shrubby and robust) 



and it is a very 

 profuse bloom- 

 er, the flowers 

 being perfect 

 in form. 



CYCLAMEN. 



Price, large plants in bud or bloom, each $1.00 to $2.00, 



Small plants, also sure to bloom, each 25 cts. to 50 cts.
