New Scarlet Carnation " Firebrand." We have long needed a carnation of intense scarlet color, large size,

 varieties. It is a very profuse bloomer, and is an unusually strong healthy grower. This variety is now 

 generally known about Xew York, where the leading cut flower growers are preparing to grow it largely. It 

 was awarded a special premium by the Xew York Horticultural Society. Price,2i inch pots, $1.50 per doz.
