New Pink Carnation, Enchantress. 

 (The Great $10,000.00 Beauty.) 



THE great forward stride in Carnations is made more manifest in this than 

 any other since the advent of the Mrs. Thos. W. Lawson. It was raised

 from 2 to 3 feet long; the color is a superb shade of rosy blush-pink, richer and 

 warmer towards the centre. An early andcontinuous bloomer, astrong, healthy

 the stock of it by a cut-flower grower, the best evidence of its value. (See cvts.)
