CARNATIONS. 
For many years we have devoted special attention to the 
cultivation of Carnations. Owing to their great popularity 
and the rapidly increasing demand, we have considerably 
extended our facilities for their cultivation. For the culti- 
vation of Malmaison and Tree varieties, American and 
English, we have erected new houses of large capacity, that 
enables us to grow them to perfection on the largest scale. 
For the cultivation of Border varieties we have built a 
series of frames, and considerably extended our outdoor area. 
Our stocks of all classes of Carnations are exceptionally fine. 
We make a point of keeping all our collections close up to date 
by the addition of all new varieties of real value. By con- 
tinual observation and comparison, coupled with our long 
experience, we regularly discard those varieties that prove 
of little value, or have been superseded by better ones. This 
process results in keeping our collection select, and of the 
highest value. 
We are always happy for visitors to inspect our stocks, 
as at all seasons of the year there is something of interest. 
During the winter and early months of the year, Tree Carna- 
tions in pots make an effective display. These are followed 
by the many glorious varieties of Malmaisons, these in 
turn being followed by the Hardy Border varieties and 
Picotees. The Perpetual Flowering type of Tree Carnation 
bloom, as their name implies, through practically the whole 
of the year. 
PERPETUAL FLOWERING 
CARNATIONS. 
These beautiful Carnations have maintained and 
still further increased their great popularity. The large, 
non-bursting flowers, their purity, and richness of colour, 
the delicious fragrance that many of them possess, together 
with the long strong stems upon which the flowers are borne, 
and the fact that they arc almost continually in bloom, 
combine to make them the most useful and beautiful of all 
Carnations. 
The collection contained in this List is one of the 
most extensive in existence in this country. We have 
obtained the stocks direct from the best English and American 
raisers. From these, we have propagated the plants we 
distribute.
