"MALMAISON" 



CARNATION. 



The cut shows exact size 



of single flower. 



The above cut shows a 

 single flower of this won- 

 derful Carnation, which 

 for the past few years has 

 been the most fashionable 

 flower for the buttonhole, 

 corsage bouquets, table 

 decoration, etc., in Lon- 

 don. Thousands a r e 

 grown for that market 

 annually and are in such 

 demand that the cut 

 flowers frequently sell at 

 the rate of $5.00 per 

 dozen wholesale. It is 

 unequaled for size, 

 measuring four inches 



across, and is a beautiful shade of blush, similar to 

 the Malmaison Rose. Visitors abroad have marveled 

 much about this wonderful Carnation, and we have 

 had numerous inquiries for plants from customers in 

 every section of the country. To satisfy this de- 

 mand we have imported a fine lot of young plants 

 for this season from the leading London grower. 

 The fragrance of the "Malmaison" is exquisite, be- 

 insr the most delicious of all Carnations. 



Price, $3.00 per doz.; §20.00 per 100. (Strong 

 plants, from 3 in. pots.) 



NEW ALTERNANTHERA, 



Rosea Nana. 



*~A new Alternanthera of great merit, which will 

 be invaluable for planting with the yellow variety 

 "Aurea Nana," on account of the similarity of 

 growth and charming contrast of color. 



"Rosea Nana" is of dense compact growth, so 

 regular that it rarely requires clipping. In color it 

 is entirely distinct from all others, being bright deep 

 pink or rose. The young foliage takes on this color 

 very early in the season and maintains it until de- 

 stroyed by frost, presenting a strong and beautiful 

 contrast with others of its class. 



10c. each ; $1.00 per doz.; $4.00 per 100. 



NEW YELLOW 



BEDDING COLEUS, 



"Mrs. D. I. Haig ht" 



A grand yellow bedding 

 Coleus raised by John 

 Logan, Goshen, N. Y., 

 who describes it as below 

 We have had it on trial for 

 a year and can endorse all 

 that has been said by him. 

 •'This originated as a 

 'sport' from Coleus 'Paro- 

 quette' and is a fine golden 

 yellow, never changing 

 under the strongest sun- 

 shine, and never showing 

 dark veining like other yel- 

 lows. The foliage is equal 

 to 'Golden Bedder,' but 

 the habit of the plant is far 

 superior to it. A bushy, 

 even grower, one plant just 

 the same as its fellows, 

 this is its greatest merit. 

 A bed of it on the sunniest 

 part of the lawn on dry 

 soil, without any watering 

 during the summer, has behaved splendidly, far sur- 

 passing any yellow Coleus I have, and all the leading 

 sort? are here." 

 Price, 10c. each ; $1.00 per doz.; $4.00 per 100. 



NEW RED BEDDING COLEUS, 



"Fire Crest." 



The major portion of the foliage is a bright car- 

 mine crimson shade, the edge is slightly marked with 

 golden yellow, which heightens the coloring ; the 

 centre of the leaves is blotched with deep bronze, the leaves are 

 deeply toothed and have that graceful wavy appearance so desirable. 

 The habit is close and compact, very short jointed, so that the 

 leaves overlap each other and give the effect of the entire plant 

 being one mass of brilliant red ; exposed to the brightest sunlight 

 this coloring is intensified. 



Price, 75c. per doz.; $4.00 per 100. 



NEW BEDDING DAHLIAS, 



Cut Leaved. 

 All single flowered and valuable on account of 



their gracefully cut foliage and prolific blooming. 

 All the varieties have a distinct disc in the centre of 

 the flower. 



"Ami Barillet." 



A new single Dahlia, bearing deep scarlet crimson 

 flowers very rich in color. The great value of it is 

 its deep purplish maroon graceful foliage ; this ren- 

 ders it. very attractive and makes it valuable for bed- 

 ding as a contrast to lighter-leaved plants. As a 

 border for a bed of French Cannas it is admirable. - 



Price, 20c. each; $2.00 per doz.
