CARNATIONS 
We decided some time ago to discontinue the 
growing of a large number of varieties of Carna- 
tions and confine our efforts to a limited number, 
and after careful study, we decided upon a list 
given below. These varieties arc the pick of the 
carnation family; of the latest and best introduc- 
tions. This trial or experiment has proven con- 
clusively that where confined effort is made 
a superior plant and flower is produced. We feel 
confident that a trial will convince even the most 
skeptical as to the true merits of the following 
varieties and for this reason alone, we are par- 
ticularly desirous of placing in every home where 
the love of flowers is felt, one or more of these 
superior plants as true worth will then be readily 
recognized. Flowers and Plants wcall know are 
essential to the ideal home— they create a desire 
for the brighter and better things in life; also 
they have a great tendency to interest the young 
minds ofjthc children in thought, pure and whole- 
some; an aid to mothers in keeping children as 
they should be If you are interested in this pop- 
ular and well-known plant, we would advise that 
you obtain the best which will be found listed 
below with prices within the reach of all.

BEGONIAS 
Gracilis Luminosa 
A new ever blooming variety for pot culture 
and bedding purposes that cannot be equaled. 
This beautiful new Begonia is the latest novelty 
in the Begonia family as well as one of the most 
symmetrical and graceful plants that we have 
ever grown; very strong and robust, and one of 
the most free flowering of all begonias, always in 
bloom; flowers when first opened are a bright 
cherry but change to a deep coral shade. It is 
also a remarkable bedding plant that will thrive 
and do exceedingly well on the north side of the 
house. This being a remarkable quality as here- 
to-fore it has almost been impossible to obtain a 
plant that would thrive and do well on a limited 
amount of sunlight. Price 15c each, two for 
25c, 12 for $1.00.
