NEW PINK CARNATION, ENCHANTRESS. 



The Great $10,000 00 Beauty. 



The great forward stride in Carnations is made more manifest 

 in this than any other since the advent of the Mrs. Thos W. 

 Lawson. It was raised by the same grower, and he pronounces 

 Enchantress superior to it. The flowers are 2i to 4 inches across 

 when well grown; the stems are strong and from 2 to 3 feet long; 

 the color is a superb shade of rosy blush-pink, richer and warmer 

 towards the centre; an early and continuous bloomer, a strong, 

 healthy grower; the ideal Carnation in every way. Ten thousand 

 dollars were paid for the stock of it by a cut-flower grower, the 

 best evidence of its value. (See cuts.) Price, $3.00 per doz., 

 $20.00 per 100. Plants from open ground.

 the Carnation Society's Convention last year. The flowers 

 measure 34 inches when well grown; long strong stems, 2 to 3 feet; 

 a healthy, vigorous grower. But its color: a glowing scarlet- 

 crimson, intense and fiery, with rich ox-blood shadings far and
