makers as cut-flowers. These are the ones that give the amateur the best satisfaction, and 
these are the sorts you will find listed below. You can order from this collection and not fear 
that you are getting anything that will not give you the best of satisfaction. The Carnation 
is one of the most satisfactory plants for the South. Ready February 15.

“The 30,000 Carnation” (Mrs. Thomas 
W. Lawson). It is a beautiful shade of pink, 
3 to 4 inches in diameter, on strong, erect 
stems. It Is suck a grand flower and so 
strong and sturdy in growth that the origina- 
tor was paid $30,000 for the original stock. 
Mrs. F. Jooste. An almost pure pink in 
color, showing scarcely any lavender. It 
combines large size with good length and 
stiffness of stem and strong growth. We 
had good results from this variety this 
season. 
Dorothy. This sort is pronounced by ail 
-o be the finest of all late productions. Its 
beautiful pink flowers are of immense size, 
borne on stems often a yard in length. It is 
free in bloom, and the flowers bring fancy 
prices in all markets. We sold the blooms of 
this sort the past season at $1.50 per dozen. 
Flora Hill, The flower is of enormous 
size and most deliciously scented; wonder- 
fully free in bloom. White. 
White Cloud. A remarkably new white 
Carnation; blooms very early on strong, stiff 
stems and continue to bloom the entire sea- 
son. Flowers large, of fine shape; fragrant. 
Queen Louise. Pure white. It has much 
to recommend it as a commercial variety. 
Its freedom of bloom, ease of culture and 
perfect calyx are among its leading features. 
Always in bloom, every shoot producing a 
perfect bloom. 
G. H. Crane. We do not hesitate to rec- 
ommend this as the best scarlet Carnation. 
It is a very large-flowering sort, first-class in 
both quality and quantity of bloom. It comes 
into flower early and continues all season; 
color a clear, brilliant scarlet.

PROSPERITY. One of the largest Carnations in cultivation; very striking in color 
p'lanMife ' ^ Ure wl ' te ’ mott * e< i soft pink, forming a combination seldom equaled in 
• , QUEEN. The best and most prolific white Carnation to date, bearing a 3- to ZV, 
inch bloom on a long rigid stem. A fine keeper and shipper. The calyx never bursts, ami 
no poor flowers. We can strongly recommend this variety as the best we know as an all- 
round commercial variety. 
ENCHANTRESS. One of the grandest of 
recently introduced Carnations, a leader in its color, 
an exquisitely delicate shade of shell-pink, deepen- 
ing toward the center. The stem and habit of 
growth are as nearly perfect as can be. Bloom-, 
early and continuously. 
THE. LATE.ST 
30 cts. each 
FLAMINGO. A sensational scarlet-flowered 
giant that has set Carnation-growers to wondering 
if the limit of Carnation perfection has not, at last, 
been reached. Brightest deep scarlet, of splendid 
form and unusual freedom of bloom. Its equal 
as a fancy cut-flower variety has yet to be shown. 
NELSON FISHER. Pronounced an improved 
form of Mrs. Lawson; produced by the originator 
of Mrs. Lawson, and surely worthy of extensive 
cultivation. Very bright, deep pink, showing none 
of the magenta shading often seen in Lawson. 
MRS. PATTEN. A very high-grade, com- 
mercial variegated. Color white, daintily marked 
with Lawson pink; blooms early and freely. One of 
the best in its class. 
Flamingo.
