Xo garden of flowering plants is complete ■without a collection of 

 these. In the varieties named and described, a type of which is 

 shown by the illustration, we offer the best and most distinct of

 combine beauty of form, most distinct and brilliant colors, with 

 vigor of growth and free-flowering qualities.

This grand sort is the result of a cross between the varieties Hin- 



zey's White and Peter Henderson. The flowers are of the purest 



white, frequently three inches across, and arc of fine substance. 



The habit of the plant is strong and free, being remarkably florifer- 



ous. It is undoubtedly the finest white variety at present. {See cut.) 



Silver Spray. One of the best white varieties we have, distinct 

 from the above, strong habit and very free blooming. 



Peerless. Another very fine u-hite variety of the largest size and 

 substance. Habit and constitution all that could be desired. 



Portia. Brilliant scarlet. In richness of color, profusion of bloom, 

 vigor and growth, and eveiy essential of a first-class carnation, 

 this variety stands unequaled. 



Grace Wilder. The pink carnation par excellence. Thousands of 

 this variety are grown for the New York market in preference to 

 other sorts of more recent introduction claimed to be superior. 



The Bride CWhite Grace Wilder). Identical with Grace Wilder 

 in every respect except the color, which in this variety is pure 

 whitp. This sort is an important addition to our list of winter- 

 flowering carnations. 



American Flag. The best striped carnation as yet introduced. 

 The flowers of this fine variety brought on the average 25 per 

 cent, more than any other carnation in the New York mai-ket last 

 winter. 



Crimson King. Dark crimson. One of the best in its color. 



Hinzey's Wnite. A very good white carnation planted largely for 

 the New York market.

 troduced in many years ; of the purest white, deeply fringed ; 

 having fiowers measuring 2j/2 inches and over in diameter, never 

 bursting the calyx.
