WINTER FLOWERING CARNATIONS. 



^^^-^ 



' I HERE are but few Carnations which do well, grown in pots in the dwelling house, because the conditions are un- 

 -*- favorable to their growth. The two varieties shown in the above engraving, we found by actual test, to do better 

 than an)' other, and so we believe they will give satisfaction, grown as window plants. The marked improvement 

 in Carnations the last few j-ears has popularized them so much, that now they are perhaps exceeded onh' by the Rose 

 alone in the number annually grown for cut flowers. Our collection contains only sorts of approved merit and our 

 plants are in the finest possible condition. 



♦ ♦ ALASKA. ♦ ♦ 



A grand new Carnation cf the highest type, flowers 

 of the purest white, finally fringed, three inches across 

 when properly grown, never bursting the cah'x and de- 

 licious spic)' fragrance. Ihe foliage abundant and the 

 habit is all that could be desired, so that it makes an 

 ideal pot plant for the window. Price, 40c. each, $4.00 

 per doz. 



SPECIAL OFFER. The two fine Carnations shown 



♦ WINTER CHEER. ♦ 



A very appropriate name for this attractive Carnation. 

 It blooms early in the season and during the short winter 

 daj's its wealth of rich vermilion bloom is indeed a cheer- 

 ing sight, particularly when the snow covered ground 

 forms such an effective back ground for it as it stands 

 in the window. The flowers are fringed and fragrant. 

 Price, 40C. each, $4.00 per doz. 

 aoove for 75c.
