DAYBREAK 



CARNATION. 



Too much cannot be said in praise of this grand Carnation. The 

 color is exquisite, a charming shade of flesh pink. It was this 

 delicate shade which suggested its name of " Daybreak," because of 

 the similarity to the first faint tinge of pink seen in the eastern sky 

 at sunrise. "Daybreak" became so popular among flower lovers 

 that the blooms readily sold for more than any other variety in the 

 New York market the past season. The growth of the plant is 

 vigorous and healthy, and the flowers possess the Carnation fra- 

 grance in a marked degree. Price, 20c. each, $2.00 per doz.

 for cut flowers. Our collection contains only sorts of approved 

 merit, and our plants are in the finest possible condition. 

 American Flag. The best striped carnation as yet introduced. 

 Buttercup. Although not new, yet conceded by experts to be

scarlet, a splendid variety and very attractive.

flowering variety, one of the most valuable sorts we offer.
