CARNATIONS 



For 

 Immediate Bloom 



CARNATION PINKS are the sweetest and most beautiful 

 Howers you can possibly have for Winter bloom, and 

 it is easy to have them in abundance if you get Our 

 Strong Field-grown Clumps, which are specially ]->repared 

 for Winter flowering, and will break into full bloom 

 almost as soon as potted, and continue bearing their 

 lovely flowers as long as in growing condition. We 

 can send small orders by mail at prices given, but it is 

 better, whenever convenient, to have these large 

 plants sent by express, as they carry in better condi- 

 tion if some earth is left on the roots, and they are nt^t 

 packed too close in the boxes. The following are the
