freest flowering varieties in cultivation.

Hills New Carnations for 1896. 
Jubilee. The red Carnation for which everybody has 
been looking. Color intense scarlet of the richest shade. 
One of the largest flowers among reds. Stems slender, but 
very stiff ; averages 18 inches in height. Calyx very strong, 
never bursts; flower quite full and well built. A per- 
sistent bloomer, and very free. Grass stiff and compact. 
We have grown it three winters to our entire satisfaction, 
and to the delight of cut flower dealers. It is a splendid 
keeper and shipper, having taken First Premium over 
all Reds at the Boston Carnation Show, February, 1895, 
after traveling from Indiana. Certificate of the National 
Society at Indianapolis, 1894. 
Triumph will not take rust, though surrounded by it. 
Color is a pure pink of yellowish tinge, and never shows a 
touch of purple ; one of the very largest blooms that we 
know of; stem perfectly erect and from 2 to 3 feet long. 
Has a strong calyx that never bursts ; is very prolific, and 
responds to very ordinary culture ; a strong, heavy grower ; 
entirely free from disease ; a splendid keeper and traveler. 
Blooms sent from Indiana were certificated at Boston by the 
National Carnation Society, February, 1895. 
Armazindy. Color is pure white, very lightly pen- 
ciled with scarlet ; can almost be used as a white ; the stem 
is very stiff and quite slender, nearly 3 feet high. The 
flower is large and never bursts. This variety also is 
entirely rust proof, and free from all other diseases. This 
variety also traveled to Boston in March, 1895, and was 
awarded certificate. 
Abundance. A unique pink Carnation. We do not 
believe that any other Carnation extant will produce as 
many blooms. It is continuous throughout the year, with 
a profusion to each plant ; it is adwarf, slender grower, stems 
averaging about 12 inches. Color salmon pink, approach- 
ing red. Perfectly clean and healthy, and with strong 
calyx. We believe that this variety will become a necessity 
to every Carnation grower. 
Date of dissemination will be announced in our January 
list, probably March). Price, $10 per 100 ; $75 per 1000.
