Green House View, Showing New Carnation, "Queen Louise," in Bloom. 



Ever-Blooming Carnation Pinks. 



VT^OR beauty of flower and color, ease of culture, certainty and freedom of bloom, together with exquisite fragrance, this 

 »|Jw is well called the " Divine Flower." Plants in the open ground quickly make large specimens, and when brought in- 

 iJ*' doors in the Fall, produce an abundance of flowers throughout the entire Winter. Carnation blooms are expensive. 

 Don't buy them— groAV them yourself. Pinch the plants back frequently during the growing season. In the Fall bring 

 indoors, place in a 4- or 5-inch pot. keep in a temperature of 40 to 50 degrees at night, and they will yield an immense number 

 of flowers with splendid stems, as fine as those sold by florists. If not pinched in they will bloom profusely during the Sum- 

 mer. We offer the finest varieties in existence. There are none better. Remember that every plant we send out is true to 

 name, and genuine. In price we easily beat all competition. Your order is incomplete without some Carnations.
