CARNATIONS, continued 
Cardinal. We feel sure 
that this variety will prove a 
first-rate commercial red ; it 
is free in bloom, has a good 
calyx, and a nice regular 
form ; one of its finest quali- 
ties is the quickness with 
which it opens its buds, and 
this quality is doubly appre- 
ciated in mid-winter, when 
nearly all the reds are so 
slow in expanding. Its de- 
fect is a weakness of stem 
early in the season, never so 
pronounced as to bar it com- 
mercially, but it is in fine 
condition for the holiday 
trade and later ; it never 
shows single blooms at any 
stage of its growth ; can be 
planted very close. 15 cts. 
The Belle. Color pure 
white; size fully 3 by 3/^ 
inches: form perfect, stem 
stiff and wiry ; fragrance 
spicy clove. Early and free- 
flowering. 15 cts. 
Robert Craig. An ideal 
Christmas scarlet, with enor- 
mous blooms; j'A to 3K 
inches in diameter. A healthy 
grower, strong, vigorous and 
free. 20 cts. 
Victory. Many Carnation 
growers say it is the finest 
scarlet color of any Carna- 
tion ; even when the flow- 
ers are aged they seem to 
retain their bright color. 
Size 3 inches and over ; fine long stems. Re- 
ceived first prizes in many of the fall shows. 
20 cts. 
Lieutenant Peary. Pure white; of fine form 
and fragrance. Flowers of largest size and borne 
on strong, long stems and very free-flowering. 
20 cts. 
Boston Market. In many sections this is being 
grown to the exclusion of all other white varie- 
ties. Can be depended upon for good-sized, 
nicely shaped blooms in profusion. Stem, form 
DOROTHY WHITNEY 
and habit of growth excellent. Color ivory- 
white. 
Dorothy Whitney. Conceded to be the near- 
est approach to the ideal yellow Carnation. Deep 
golden yellow, irregularly edged with faint mark- 
ings of light pink. 15 cts. 
Harlowarden. The largest and best of its color 
— a bright dazzling crimson. Flowers often meas- 
ure 3 inches in diameter, and are well supported 
on long, stiff stems. A wonderfully free bloomer, 
always full of buds. 15 cts.
