Alice. This flesh-pink variety has perhaps been 

 more widely disseminated than any introduced in 

 many years. From California 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. 



Arawana. A clear, bright crimson. Very productive 

 and does not burst the calyx. It is not an exhibition 

 variety, but produces blooms of a good quality that 

 keep well. 



Aviator. A very intense scarlet. Flowers are of 

 medium size, well formed with a full center. One of 

 the best producing Carnations and a dependable va- 

 riety at all seasons. 



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 varie- 

 ties for Christmas scarlet that has ever been intro- 

 duced. 



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. 



Cottage Maid. A clear shell-pink, deeper at the 

 center and at the base of the petals. It is a sport of 

 Mrs. C. W. Ward and identical in habit of growth. 



Crystal White. A new introduction of the Cottage 

 Gardens Company which has the same vigorous con- 

 stitution as Matchless, with large, full flowers of the 

 purest glistening white, early and very productive. It 

 can be brought into full crop by November i. Crystal 

 White has been awarded the American Carnation So- 

 ciety Gold Medal and numerous other prizes.

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, 

 calv\, and torrn of llower. It is so much of an improve- 

 ment tli ii \\t 1ki\c discarded Enchantress and ofl'er our 

 tratU I IK haiit rc--s Supreme as the best of the flesh- 

 pink \ arii tRs. 



Eureka. This is a seedling of Beacon, which we 

 have grown here successfully and profitably lor several 

 seasons. It is considerably brighter in color than 

 Beacon. Ingrowth, the plant almost iiicntiial with 

 its parent. The llower, alth.nj-li a tiillc suialUr, luis 

 the additional merit of not luirstin>i t he cal\ \ anil sliow s 

 good keeping qualities. As a commercial \aricly, it 

 has proved profitable, particularly to those who cannot 

 grow Beacon and the other scarlet varieties success- 

 fully. 



Matchless. This variety is regarded by iiianv as the 

 best white C'arnation, in spite of tlie fact tliat It needs 

 early planting; and carries a slight tinge ol KiKir in its 

 petals at certain seasons. This tinge of color seems to 

 enhance rather than detract from its beaut\. It is a 

 good, average producer and the flowers are of the 

 best quality. It is a wonderful keeper and has nuule 

 good every promise made for it. VVe unlusitatingly 

 recommend Matchless to the Carnation-grower. 



Miss Theo. Good rosc-pink \arieties are scarce 

 and we are satisfied that Miss 1 heo is good. We be- 

 lieved it would be and assisted in disseminating it. It 

 is small compared with some but a producer of good 

 flowers of an even shade of coloi. 



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

 C. W. Ward is 1 lie onK \arit t\ geiierall.\ grown, and 

 the ])lant characteristics, combined with keeping 

 quality and high-class bloom, rccoinmeiul it to all 

 Carnation-growers. A better dark pink than litis \ a- 

 riety has been looked for, but Mrs. C. \\ . W anl re- 

 tains its place as the best dark pink reall\ worth grow- 

 ing. 



Nancy. Color light salnion-plnk. little darker than 

 Pink Delight and more e\ en kiIoi ; c1«h s not fade. 

 Fragrance is very noticeable. It keeps will and is a 

 good companion to Alice and Enchantress Supreme. 

 By careful selection of stock in propagating, we lirnl 

 this variety improving each season, both in production 

 and growth. 



Nebraska. A l)ii,jlii i uK t. Plant is a strong 

 grower, proilm in;; li'ii-, - t ilT - stemmed flowers. 

 Nebraska is the most promising of last season's novel- 

 ties, ami we loiisider it among the best of the large- 

 llower.cl sialUls. 



Reil Will)*. A clear scarlet color, with a long, pcr- 



lomio'l and' not'^'i ,i ,1\ h '■' cah'x. h "is ' m ' m ., n " , -

White Knchanlress. This old favorite has stood 

 the test of time and is today one of the three hiust 

 w hite Carnations. It is a clean grower, produces good 

 llowers, and produces them constantly throughout the
