 producing racemes of tlie most vivid scarlet berries, wliicli

 ing point. It luxuriates in the warmer Southern States, and

NEW SCARLET CARNATION, 



" Firebrand." 



We have long nceiled a Carnation of intense scarlet color, 

 large size, and at the same time free-flowering qualities. In 

 this variety we liave all those qualifications in a marked de- 

 gree. " Firebrand " is sure to become a standard sort, as it 

 surpasses in brilliancy or color all the other varieties. It is a 

 verj' profuse bloomer, and is an unusually strong healthy 

 grower. This variety is now generally known about New 

 York, where the leading cut flower growers are preparing to 



grow it largely. It was awarded a special premium by the 

 New York Horticultural Society in 1880.

CARNATION", " SNOWDON.'" 



NEW MONTHLY CARNATION, 



" Snowdon." 



The cut gives a good representation of this most valuable 

 new Carnation. Its merits are that the flowers are of (.he 

 purest white, borne in unequaled profusion on plants that 

 rarely ever exceed one foot in height. This quality of dwarf- 

 ness 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 purposes, it has no equal 

 in Carnations.
