Hawaii 



New Carnations. 



liOIS C. HAETTEL; A pure white variety of California origin, and one of the most prolific and continuous flowering 

 varieties ever introduced. The cut gives a good idea of the actual size and shape of the flower. The petals, as will be noticed, 

 are very heavily fringed, giving it a peculiar lace-like appearance. The habit of the plant is all that could be desired, while in 

 fragrance it rivals the hardy garden Pinks. 25 cts. each, $2.50 per dozen, $15.00 per 100. 



HAWAII. A pretty fancy variety; ground color yellow, laced and striped with carmine, entirely distinct from anything sent 

 out before. The plant is a strong, vigorous grower and a profuse and vigorous bloomer. 25 cts. each; $2.50 per dozen.
