Alice. This flesh-pink variety has perhaps been more 

 widely disseminated than any introduced in many 

 years. From Cahfornia to the eastern coast, Alice 

 shows a remarkable freedom of growth and good 

 production. It has shown, also, that it has come into 

 its own with the advent of cold weather, the flowers 

 being of better quality and fully the equal of any 

 light or flesh-pink Carnation in commerce. 



Beacon. This variety needs no description to the 

 Carnation-grower. We have always found it one to 

 be depended upon for results. It is one of the best 

 varieties for Christmas scarlet that has ever been 

 introduced. 



Benora. The best variegated Carnation. In color it 

 is creamy white, penciled with bright red. It is a 

 free grower and a good producer, in addition to being 

 an excellent keeper. 



Enchantress Supreme. Light salmon-pink in color; 

 has the characteristics of the Enchantress family in 

 habit of growth and productiveness. It is better than 

 Enchantress, from which it is a sport, in color, calyx, 

 and form of flower. It is so much of an improvement 

 tliat we have discarded Enchantress and offer our 

 trade Enchantress Supreme as the best of the flesh- 

 pink varieties. Doz. loo

Eureka. This is a seedling of Beacon, which we have 

 grown here successfully and profitably for several 

 seasons. It is considerably brighter in color than 

 Beacon. In growth, the plant is almost identical 

 with its parent. The flower, although a trifle smaller, 

 has the additional merit of not bursting the calyx 

 and shows good keeping qualities. As a commercial 

 variety, it has proved profitable, particularly to those 

 who cannot grow Beacon and the other scarlet va- 

 rieties successfully. 



Benora 



Matchless 



Matchless. This variety is regarded by many as the 

 best white Carnation, in spite of the fact that it needs 

 early planting and carries a slight tinge of color in its 

 petals at certain seasons. This tinge of color seems to 

 enhance rather than detract from its beauty. It is a 

 good, average producer and the flowers are of the 

 best quality. It is a wonderful keeper and has made 

 good every promise made for it. We unhesitatingly 

 recommend Matchless to the Carnation-grower. 



Mrs. C. W. Ward. In the dark pink section, Mrs. C. 

 W. Ward is the only variety generally grown, and 

 the plant characteristics, combined with keeping 

 quality and high-class bloom, recommend it to all 

 Carnation-growers. A better dark pink than this 

 variety has been looked for, but Mrs. C. W. Ward 

 retains its place as the best dark pink really worth 

 growing. 



White Enchantress. This old favorite has stood the 

 test of time and is today one of the three finest white 

 Carnations. It is a clean grower, produces good 

 flowers, and produces them constantly throughout 

 the season. 



White Wonder. Large, pure white blooms on long, 

 wiry stems are characteristic of this variety. It is 

 a producer and one of the finest white Carnations. 

 It is a fitting companion to Matchless and White 

 Enchantress, and we put faith in the combination in 

 one planting, using them in equal quantities, and 

 have the highest quality in white Carnations at all 

 seasons. White Wonder does not produce surplus 

 wood, but every growth will produce a perfect flower. 

 For this reason, this variety is a somewhat difflcult 

 propagator, and stock will, therefore, find a ready 

 demand.
