THE NEW HARDY EVER^BLOOMING CARNATION, ''CRIMSONIA " 



This we consider of the greatest value as a garden variety. It originated as a natural hybrid in a lot of Marguerite Carna- 

 tions and has been tested for four years. It proved entirely hardy in northern New Jersey during that period. 



The flowers are fuU and double, finely fringed, borne in wonderful profusion on 

 long, straight stems, remarkable for their wiry strength, surpassing the ordinary 

 Carnation in that particular. The color is a deep, lustrous carmine-crimson very 

 brilliant and showy. The habit of the plant is vigorous and branches freely; 

 foliage and stems dark green and slightly pubescent. The flowers under ordinary 

 cultivation and without disbudding will average from I5 to 2 inches across; in 

 rich soil and when disbudded they will run one half to one inch larger. The 

 fragrance is of the true carnation, strong and spicy. Brought indoors in the fall 

 It blooms throughout the winter. This healthy, hardy, vigorous, free blooming, 

 brilliantly colored Carnation will be a boon to those who want summer flowers.
