Annie Pixley. Delicate 
pink; a decided acqui- 
sition. 
Carnations 
The increasing demand for this lovely 
flower speaks for its well-earned popular- 
ity. We have borne in mind our customers' 
desire to keep up with the times, and have 
during the past season added to our list 
such new varieties as we deemed really 
worthy of culture. Thus intending pur- 
chasers may rest assured that they will 
find listed in our catalogue no "new" va- 
rieties which will ultimately prove worth- 
less ; for we have given all late introduc- 
tions a thorough trial at our Nurseries, 
and have discarded the worthless sorts, 
feeling that that work devolved upon us 
and not on our patrons. The Carnation grows vigorously and flow- 
ers in California nearly tlie year round in the open ground.
