Buttercup.'' 



CARNATIONS. 



Buttercup. Rich golden yellow, with a few streaks 



of clear carmine; Of vigorous habit and very 



floriferous. The florets are large, full, and very 



double, from 2\ to 3 inches in diameter. 

 Dawn. This is a new departure in Carnations, being 



neither what is called a straight or solid color, or 



variegated, but a blending from the centre of the 



flower outwards, of a soft delicate pink or rose 



color to pure white at the edge, delightful 



fragrance. 

 Field of Gold. This is a pure yellow Carnation of 



strong growth and very profuse flowering late in 



the season. There is no stripe at all in it. 

 F. Mangold. One of the finest dark varieties in 



cultivation, of a deep rich crimson and finely 



fringed. 

 Mrs. Carnegie. White, delicately pencilled and 



laced with rosy carmine, finely fringed; a good 



strong grower. 

 Quaker City. Very dwarf and compact growing 



variety, large perfectly pure white flowers ; an 



extraordinary bloomer. It is especially valuable 



during Eastertide, as it comes into bloom in Feb- 

 ruary, and is a complete mass of flowers until 



July. If wintered in a cold frame, will bloom all 



summer. 

 Scarlet Gem. This is by far the finest scarlet Car- 

 nation yet introduced. Its color is a rich, dazzling 



scarlet, of dwarf vigorous habit, and remarkably 



free flowering. It will undoubtedly supersede all 



other scarlets. Strong stock plants, $3.00 per doz. 

 Sunrise. A grand one; vigorous grower; habit 



good; color light bull", flaked with bright red; 



flowers large, and of good shape ; fragrant and 



free; does not burst, and can be cut with long
