CARNATIONS AND ROSES,

CARNATION BLIZZARD. 



Winter-blooming • Carnations. 



Few other plants are more highly esteemed for Winter 

 blooming than Carnations. Their certainty to bloom under 

 pot culture and the profusion of exquisitely scented flowers 

 they give during the entire Winter make them almost indis- 

 pensable. The plants we offer are not small; they are large, 

 field-grown plants that have been potted for two months, and 

 should be grown in five or six-inch pots when received. They 

 can be sent by Mail, but being extremely heavy it is best to 

 send them by Express, as they will be received in nicer con- 

 dition. The plants we offer are strong and vigorous; will 

 produce great numbers of flowers, and will commence bloom- 

 ing at once, continuing throughout the Winter. 



Price, postpaid by Mail, 35 cts. each; set of 5 

 described below, postpaid, for $1.50. 



Price by Express : 25 cts. each ; 5 for $1.00.

 of the variegated sorts: ; exceedingly free flowering ; color

THE BEST FOR WINTER BLOOM. 



The varieties offered below are selected for their freedom 

 of bloom, variety of color and adaptability to house culture. 

 They have been specially prepared for the purpose, and are 

 strong plants growing in three-inch pots. When received,

 light and sun as possible. 



The Queen. — (See cut.) Introduced by us in 1889. A 

 continuous bloomer, producing successive crops of buds and 

 flowers in great profusion; color pure snowy white; exqui- 

 sitely scented; one of the best. 20 cts. each ; 3 for 50 cts. 



Maman Cochet. — New. In our estimation this is the 

 best Tea Rose of its color. The bud and flower are simply 

 exquisite in color and form ; blooms very freely and is an ex- 

 ceedingly healthy grower ; color fleshy pink and silvery rose. 

 Try it. 25 cts. each ; 2 for 40 cts.
