CARNATION SNOWDON. 



NEW MONTHLY CARNATION, 



" Snowdon." 

 The out gives a good representation of this most valua- 

 ble new Carnation. Its merits are that the flowers are of 

 the purest white, borne in unequaled profusion on plants 

 that rarely ever exceed one foot in height. This quality 

 of dwarfness makes it exceedingly valuable, as it can be 

 grown close to the glass on front benches of the green- 

 house. As a pot plant for the parlor, or for market pur- 

 poses, it has no equal in Carnations. 



Stock plants 75 cts. each.

"1.00 per doz.
