The Jubilee Set of 



Carnation Pinks. 



Our Colored Plate of Car- 

 nations 



on preceding page will prove 

 interesting. All the flowers 

 represented in the "JUBILEE 

 COLLECTION" were punted 

 direct from nature. Notice the 

 difference in the pink and 

 white shades, how absolutely 

 distinct they are. Descriptions 

 are inadequate to cover these 

 points, hence the value of col- 

 ored-plate illustrations. 



Twelve Beautiful Ever-blooming Varieties— The Best 

 in Cultivation, Postpaid for $1. 



(See Colored-plate Illustration, preceding page.) 



OR intense, gorgeous coloring, beauty of form, ease of culture, certainty and freedom of 

 bloom, and exquisite clove-scented fragrance, Carnations have indeed few equals among 

 Summer-flowering plants. Having everything to commend them, it is not to be wondered 

 that they are so exceedingly popular. When planted in the open ground they quickly 

 make large bushy plants, which produce their lovely flowers in great abundance. At the 

 approach of cold weather they should be brought indoors, where they will bloom throughout the 

 entire Winter. Keep at night in a temperature of 45 to 50 degrees. They are as easy to get along 

 with as a Geranium. Instead of paying a high price for Carnation flowers, grow them yourself. We 

 are situated in the centre of the great Carnation belt. Around us are upwards of one hundred 

 greenhouse establishments, given up entirely to the culture of Carnations for their flowers. We, 

 therefore, have the twofold advantage of being able to secure the latest and most satisfactory varie- 

 ties as well as having an immense stock to draw from at all times, hence our plants are stronger, 

 surer to grow, and will produce more flowers than those usually sent out, while our prices are far 

 below the average. This magnificent collection of 12 best sorts for $1 is a combination hard to beat. 

 A 1 stock, strong and healthy, the best varieties, embracing a choice range of colors, with the price 

 easily within the reach of all. 



There is a wealth of pleasure and satisfaction in store for every one who plants "The Jubilee 

 Set." Try it !

As a rule all Carnation growers root their cuttings late in the season after the main crop of 

 flowers have been gathered. Such plants will not flower during the Summer. Our cuttings were 

 rooted early in the Autumn, three months before the usual time, hence are infinitely more valuable 

 than the average Carnation, being sure to produce a splendid crop of Summer flowers. The plants 

 we offer are therefore worth twice as much as the ordinary plants usually sent out. 



These are the varieties included in the 

 "JUBILEE SET:" 12 for $1.
