Queen Louise — The most perfectly 

 formed and finished carnation yet raised : 

 quite circular in outline, and nicely rounded 

 out with petals. Brings an eno r mou- cr^p 

 of flowers. Clean and healthy — fine stem. 

 Compared with Flora Hill it is not so early, 

 does not continue so late, and is not so 

 large, but surposses it in finish and in con- 

 stant stiffness of stem. 



Flora Hill — The largest, earliest, freest 

 and best white variety to date with the ma- 

 jority of growers. Don't forget its value 



as a very early variety, and also as an 

 early summer bloomer. 



Mrs. Higginbottom — A light pink 

 variety, intermediate in color between Day- 

 break and Mrs. Joost. Not equal to the 

 largest in size, but choice in color and 

 build. Healthy, free, Calyx and stem both 

 good. 



Carnation. 



Chicago — Another early, continuous all 

 season bloomer ; 3 inches across ; well 

 formed flower and calyx 16 to 18 inch stem. 

 Color brilliant scarlet, habit good, ro- 

 bust grower, free from disease. Scored 

 92 points before the American Carnation 

 Society. 



Mrs. T. W. Lawson — This variety has 

 met a phenomenal early sale, running well 

 up toward a hundred thousand at this 

 writing. Has received five first-class certi- 

 ficates, including that of . the American 

 Carnation Society, and the Silver Cup at 

 Philadelphia for best Pink; also Silver 

 Medal of the Massachusetts Horticultural 

 Society at Boston. It is, without doubt, 

 the finest Pink Carnation ever introduced, 

 and has been so pronounced by experts. 



Mrs. Brandt — The largest, finest and 

 most profitable of all fancy carnations. 

 Clear white, heavily edged and striped with 

 scarlet.
