NEW WHITE CARNATION, 



Lois C Haettel. 



A white variety that was introduced by us last season in a 

 limited way. It is of California origin, and one of the most 

 prolific and continuous bloomers yet introduced. The cut 

 gives a good idea of the actual size and shape of the flower. 

 The petals are very heavily fringed, giving it a peculiar lace- 

 like appearance. The habit of the plant is all that could be desired, 

 in fragrance it excels any variety now on the market. 



We give below a few of the many testimonals sent us in reference to this 

 fine white carnation. 



Mr. William Scott of Buffalo, N. Y., writes us : "I find Lois C. Haettel a 

 good grower in an exceptionally dry season, an early bloomer with medium 

 sized flowers, pure white in color, of perfect form and a free bloomer." 



F. G-oldring & Co., S. Singerlands, Albany, New York, say : "We consider Lois C; 

 Haettel Carnations to be our best white, and intend growing it largely next season. 

 In our soil — a rich sandy loam — this variety makes a fine sturdy growth, producing 

 its flowers very freely on long stiff stems, and best of all it is a good seller. We 

 would strongly commend it to those needing a good all round white carnation."
