plants should be planted out in the open ground in May and kept well cultivat-

profusion of blooms all winter.

ENCHANTRESS 
LADY BOUNTIFUL 
Large, nicely filled flowers of purest white. Not 
only good for large sized blooms when given special 
care, but valuable for garden planting and pot cul- 
ture. Very sweetly scented with that delightful, 
old-fashioned clove fragrance lacking in many of 
the newer Carnations. Price, 15 cents. 
MRS. LAWSON 
The grandest of pink Carnations — a true exhibi- 
tion variety. Bloom large and spreading; stem stiff; 
a good grower. All newcomers will have to meet 
comparison with the Lawson. Very free for so 
large a flower. The Lawson is the queen of a class 
of her own, just as American Beauty is among 
Roses. No grower can afford to be without it. 
Price, 10 cents. 
ROOSEVELT 
The darkest colored Carnation grown. Eteep, 
dark red. almost black; very large. A new kind, 
scarce and very fine. Price, 15 cents. 
G. H. CRANE 
Another early, continuous, all-season bloomer; 
three incl es across; well formed flower and calyx; 
sixteen to eighteen-inch stem; color brilliant scar- 
let; habit good; robust grower. Price, 10 cents. 
VARIEGATED LAWSON 
A phenomenal variety. A sport from that famous 
variety Mrs. Thomas Lawson. Exceedingly beau- 
tiful and delicately fragrant. Color delicate car- 
mine penciling on ivory-white ground. A tre- 
mendous bloomer. The best variegated Carnation 
introduced to date. Price, 20 cents.

HARLOWARDEN 
One of the largest and most striking Carnations 
upon the market. Color very pleasing shade of flesh- 
pink, deepening toward the center. Blooms averaging 
three and one-half inches; center very full and high; 
strong calyx, does not burst; one of the best stems 
yet seen, averaging two to three feet in length, hold- 
ing the flower perfectly erect. Strong, vigorous plant, 
very healthy; early and continuous bloomer. One of 
the best. Price, 15 cents. 
GUARDIAN ANGEL 
An improved Scott. Color a clear pink. Blooms 
large, verv fragrant; calyx good, never bursts; long 
stem, which holds the flower erect. Its habit of 
growth is similar to Wm. Scott. Sturdy, vigorous and 
free. Price, 10 cents. 
The large'it and best of its color, a bright, dazzling 
crimson. Flowers often measure three inches in diam- 
eter, and are well-supported on long, stiff stems. A 
wonderfully free bloomer, always full of buds. Price, 
10 cents. 
QUEEN LOUISE 
The plant is a healthy, clean grower, entirely free 
from rust or disease; of the easiest possible manage- 
ment, and wonderfully free in bloom. Flower of enor- 
mous size, of nice rounded form, highly clove-scented, 
and all borne on very long stems, making it an ideal 
variety lor cut flowers. Good summer bloomer. White. 
Price, 5 cents. 
Mr Gray Aawera, New Zealand, March 7. 
' Dear Sir:— I write to tell you how pleased I am with the Roses you sent. They arrived in excellent 
order and quite damp alter their seven weeks' traveling. 1 buried them for a week and then planted 
them. Out of the ten, I have six with plenty of leaves on, though they have only been out a fort- 
night. — they may die down when they find the weather getting colder instead of warmer. However, 
that cannot he helped. I will watch these with great Interest and should they continue to grow will get 
some more next season. I note the older the plant and the longer the branches, the better they carry. 
They were all small plants that died, and they died from the tops downwards. I am interested in get- 
ting the strictly American grown Roses. We can get all the English ones here but the very newest. Per- 
haps next year I may get some of American origin. Taking them all around. I am very much pleased 
with your Roses, and consider their packing excellent — seven ■w»eks is a long time to be on the way. 
Tours truly, E. O. C.
