4* CARNATIONS, «t3^ 



' The great improvement in this grand race the last few 

 years has directed popular attention to them until now 

 they are perhaps exceeded only by the Rose alone in the 

 number annually grown for cut flowers. Our collection 

 contains only sorts of approved merit and our plants are 

 in the finest possible condition. 

 LIZZIE McGOWAN. One of the best white varieties we have, 



strong habit and very free blooming. {See cut.) 

 Mme. Diaz Albertini. The new pink carnation and deemed one of 



the best yet introduced. 

 Emily Pierson. Deep red, fine large flowers of great substance. 



A very good variety. 

 Daybreak. So called because of its rare and beautiful color, com- 

 pared to the first faint tinge of rosy light seen in the eastern sky. 

 Grace Wilder. The pink carnation par excellence. 

 American Flag. Best striped carnation yet introduced. 

 Sweet Briar. A new variety having exquisite rosy pink flowers, 



large, full and delightfully fragrant. 

 Helen Keller. Long, stout stems; a strong, vigorous and healthy 

 grower. Color clear white, delicately and very evenly marked with 

 bright scarlet — giving it a very pleasing and effective appearance. 

 Thomas Cartledge. A pure shade of carmine pink, .slightly deeper 

 than Tidal Wave, and in every way more desirable than that variety. 

 Wm. Scott. Flowers large and non-bursting, of a deep Grace Wilder 

 pink, stems long, of good strength. . .
