CARNATIONS. 
Of the many novelties in Carnations, we offer the following as those which have special merit, and should receive a thorough and ex- 
tended trial. They are strong, healthy, vigorous growers, producing large showy flowers, good substance, and in every respect strictly- 
first-class. 
ALASKA.— Purest white; a seedling from McGowan and quite similar in habit of growth. The flowers are larger in size and more 
symmetrical in foim than those of its parent; a healthy, vigorous, promising variety. 
CORSAIR.— Scarlet McGowan; of strong, vigorous habit, producing its large brilliant flowers on long, stiff stems. Corsair appar- 
ently leads us one step nearer to the much wanted standard scarlet sort. 
METEOR,— Crimson scarlet; deep and brilliant; flowers very large and attractive;"a splendid grower with clean healthy foliage; 
flowers will keep a week after cutting. 
ROSE ftUEEN- Pure, soft rose color; a beautiful and desirable shade which is always admired and in great demand. The flow- 
ers are large, on stiff, erect stems, of good substance, and produced freely on the plant. Mr. Simmons claims Rose Queen to be one of the 
best of his productions.

Wm* Scott, 
Carnation, William Scott. 
This grand variety has come to stay; in fact it is the general ver- 
dict that it is the best pink carnation in cultivation at the present 
time. It is simply perfection in habit of growth, freedom of bloom, 
size and color. Every grower should plant the William Scott freely. 
Rooted cuttings per dozen, 30c. ; hundred, $2 00; thousand, $15 00. 
Plants per dozen, 60 cents; hundred, $4.00; thousand, $35.00. 
Carnation Daybreak. 
Daybreak is the best and most popular carnation 
grown. It has no rival, therefore is still in great de- 
mand. The flowers are a most beautiful shade of 
delicate pink; large, well formed, and for the retail 
trade have no equal. 
Rooted cuttings, per dozen, 30c; hundred, $1.50; 
thousand, $12.00.

CHRYSANTHEMUM. 
Glara Goodman. 
Large, Late Flowering Yellow. Honors are not easy to attain at the present 
time on account of the many introductions in this class of very popular plants, 
but when we introduced George S. Conover Chrysanthemum as the very best, 
large, early, flowering yellow, we scored a great success. We want more of the 
same kind of medicine, therefore, in introducing our new, large flowering, late 
variety, Clara Goodman, to our customers, they may rest assured that they will 
not receive an untried sort, which will have to be discarded after growing a year 
or two. We have grown it four years, and the past season it was even better than 
the first year it bloomed. 
In making up your list of new Chrysanthemums, don't overlook Clara Good- 
man, as we are confident this variety will be one of the few introductions of 1896 
which will prove to give entire satisfaction and become a popular and standard 
sort. The flowers of this variety are about the size of Philadelphia, full and 
double to the center, of a very bright, deep yellow, borne on erect, very stiff stems 
which are well furnished with handsome, dark foliage. This variety is not a tall 
grower, and therefore well adapted for planting on a side bench. (See 1st Page.) 
Plants per dozen, $2.00; hundred, $15.00.
