The plants are upright in habit, bearing im- 
mensely large flowers on long, strong stems.

Pink Enchantress Carnation. The blooming 
period is an advantage, too, as they come be- 
tween the mid-season and the late-blooming 
sorts. Pkt., 75 seeds, 8c; *4 oz., COc.

perts to be the best shell-pink of 
its type. It is a cross between

color and season of flowering. 
They bear immense flowers, 4 and 
5 inches across, of a beautiful 
rose or shell-pink color. Pkt., 60 
seeds, 8c; % oz., 40c.
