CARNATIONS 



SUMMER BLOOMING VARIETIES. 



Comparatively few varieties of Carnation can be re- 

 lied upon to blossom freely in the open ground during 

 the summer and autumn months. 



The following sorts have been proved by repeated 

 trials to be most satisfactory for this purpose, and the 

 plants we offer for delivery in May have been grown 

 expressly to produce flowers throughout the summer. 

 The plants are too large to be sent by mail. 



Camp Fire. Vivid, deep scarlet. 

 Edith Foster. White, large, free bloomer. 

 Eldorado. Canary yellow, penciled with red. 

 Francis Joost. Deep salmon pink. 

 Mrs. Fisher. Pure white, very large.

 Sebeic. Dark crimson. 



William Scott. Bright pink, profuse bloomer. 

 Plants from 3%=inch Pots, each, .25 ; doz., $2.50 ; per 100, $16.00. 



PAISLEY CARNATIONS. 



Those who are fond of the old-fashioned spice or clove-scented pinks, 

 Dianthus plumarius, will find the best forms in these Paisley Carnations. 

 They are perfectly hardy, requiring only a slight covering of evergreen boughs 

 during winter. The blossoms are large, of true Carnation form, in color lang- 

 ing from white to lilac and rosy crimson and strongly clove-scented.
