NEW, DOUBLE, WHITE, PERPETUAL BLOOMING CARNATION, 
“pstsB 
This choice novelty was raised from seed, by Mr. John Charlton, of Rochester, N. 
Y., and purchased by Nanz & Netiner, who now after a thorough trial offer it to the 
public, with the assurance that its many excellent qualities may enable it to supersede 
all other white Carnations now introduced. The plant is of a strong-growing, dwarf, 
compact habit, with rich, dark foliage, producing an immense number of flowers, 
both in winter and summer, being in fact as well as in name a perpetual blooming 
Carnation. The flowers are usually 2£ or 3 inches in diameter, or nearly double the 
size of any other variety; fine form, pure white, extra fragrant, and never bursts the 
calyx, which is the usual rule for all carnations, but the flower remains bright and 
fresh on the plant for over two weeks. The illustrations are from photographs of a 
one-year-old plant, grown with only ordinary care, yet it had at the time the photo- 
graph was taken nearly 200 flowers and buds 50c. each. 
NEW ABUTILONS. 
The following Abutilons were raised by A. K. Williams, of this place, the result 
of crosses between A. Darwini and the older varieties; they combine in a great degree 
the extreme freedom of bloom which characterizes the former, with distinct flowers 
and more vigorous habits. They are by far the finest colored-flower varieties of 
I Abutilons ever offered : 
A. Belsham, clear carmine-crimson, without markings on outside; color brilliant 
and attractive; flowers large and of good form; vigorous habit; a novel and distinct 
■ Ab util on 50c. each. 
J. H. Skinner, a most profuse bloomer; clear reddish-salmon; a distinct and free 
flowering variety; will make an excellent bedding plant. 50c. each. 
Joseph Hill, beautiful deep orange, with purple veining; flowers broad and open, 
beautifully marked in the center; a vigorous grower .... 50c. each. 
L. B. Case, flowers of good size and form ; color crimson-red, veined with purple ; 
of vigorous habit and a very free bloomer 50c. each. 
Bobert George, a free and continuous bloomer; flowers broad; their large, over- 
lapping petals incurved, presenting a beautiful appearance; color orange, veined 
crimson 50c. each.
