Fine Perpetual Blooming CARNATIONS. 



These splendid Carnation-pinks are among the most beautiful and desirable flowers we 



have ; highly valued for their constant bloom and delicious fragrance ; they flower freely during 



the summer and fall in the garden, and if taken nidoors, and kept in a cool, light room, will 



produce an abundance of lovely flowers all winter. It is best to keep the buds picked oft' those 



intended for winter bloom, and they should be taken in before hard frost, as they are not 



entirely hardy.

The Beautiful Orchid Water Lily. 



This rare and beautiful Water Lily is sure to astonish 

 and please every one who plants it, not the least imjiort- 

 ant of its many good qualities being that it grows easily 

 and blooms very quickly. The leaves are nearly circular, 

 and deep, glossy green ; the leaf-stalks form curious bal- 

 loon-shaped sacks, filled with air, which causes the wliole 

 plant to float on the surface of the water. It throws up 

 stout flower stalks, bearing large clusters of lovely, orchid- 

 like flowers, each one about two and a half inches in 

 diameter. The color is pale violet-blue, delicately 

 tinged with rosy-blush, and beautifully marked with 

 bright orange; remarkably haudsorae and interesting. 

 Plant in jar or small tubof water, ])Ut some rich soil 

 in the bottom, and set in a sunny place in the garden, 

 and you will be surprised at its rapid growth and beau- 

 tiful bloom. Plants can be wintered over in a vessel of 

 water with some soil in the bottom, kept in a light place 

 away from frost. Price 20 cents each ; five for 

 $1.00.
