 and finished carnation yet raised; quite cir- 

 cular in outline, and nicely rounded out with 

 petals. Brings an enormous crop of flowers. 

 Clean and healthy — fine stem. Compared 

 with Flora Hill it is not so early, does not 

 continue so late, and is not so large, but sur- 

 passes it in finish and in constant stiffness of 

 stem. 



Flora Hill — The largest, earliest, freest 

 and best white variety to date with the ma- 

 jority of growers. Don't forget its value as 

 a very early variety, and also as an early 

 summer bloomer. 



Mrs. Hig&inbottom — A light pink variety, 

 intermediate in color between Daj'^break and 

 Mrs. Joost. Not equal to the largest in size, 

 but choice in color and build. Healthy, free. 

 Calyx and stem both good.

 season bloomer; 3 inches across; well formed

 flower, 2^ inches in diameter. Stem 12 to IS

 received five first-class certificates, including 

 that of the American Carnation Society, and
