CARNATIONS 
We are the largest growers of this truly popular flower in the South. We grow for cut-flowers 
each season over 50,000 plants, and we grow nothing but the best. We do not offer everything to be 
found in Carnations, but the best only, such sorts as we find to be money-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 satisfaction. The Carnation is one of the most satisfactory plants for the South. 
Ready February 15. 
Price, escept where noted, 10 cts. each. 
“ 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 
such a grand flower and so strong and sturdy in 
growth that the originator was paid $30,000 for 
the original stock. 
The Queen. The best and most prolific white 
Carnation to date, bearing a 3- to 3>^-inch bloom 
on a long, rigid stem. A fine keeper and shipper. 
The calyx never bursts, and no poor flowers. 
We can strongly recommend this variety as the 
best we know as an all-round commercial 
variety. 
Alter Aueust 1, 35 cts. each, $2.50 per doz. 
Enchantress. One of the grandest of recently 
introduced Carnations ; a leader in its color, an 
exquisitely delicate shade of shell-pink, deepening 
toward the center. The stem and habit of growth 
are as nearly perfect as can be. Blooms early and 
continuously. 
Queen Louise. Pure white. It has much to rec- 
ommend 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. 
Flamingo. A sensational scarlet-flowered giant 
that has set Carnation-growers to wondering if 
the limit of Carnation perfec- 
tion has not, at last, been 
reached. Brightest deep scar- 
let, of splendid form and un- 
usual freedom of bloom. Its 
equal as a fancy cut-flower va- 
riety has yet to be shown. Its 
color makes it a most valuable 
variety. 
Nelson Fisher. Pronounced 
an improved form of Mrs. Law- 
son ; produced by the origi- 
nator of Mrs. Lawson, and 
surely worthy of extensive cul- 
tivation. Very bright, deep 
pink, showing none of the ma- 
genta shading often seen in 
Lawson. 15 cts. 
Mrs. Patten. A very high- 
grade, commercial variegated. 
Color white, daintily marked 
with Lawson pink ; blooms 
early and freely. One of the 
best in its class. 1 5 cts. 
Lady Bountiful. A pure 
white, 31^ inches across ; stems 
24 inches and longer; has a 
splendid calyx, and a good, 
strong clove fragrance. A fine 
keeper and very productive. 
15 cts. 
Fiancee. It is a magnificent 
pink variety, with long, stiff 
stems and a big flower ; the 
color is bright, pure pink, 
about the shade of Marquis at 
ts best ; it belongs in the class 
with Enchantress. 15 cts. Valu- 
able cut-flower variety.
