The Carnation’s home is wherever 
flowers are loved and seen through¬ 
out the civilized world, and it is most 
justly a universal favorite. Its free- 
bloomingiiualities, ease of culture, 
beautiful lorrn and colors, and deli¬ 
cious perfume are qualities which 
recommend it to every one. In 
crowing this flower it is better to 
nave young plants every spring to 
plant out. They will flower more or 
less during the summer, und in the 
fall can be potted and brought in¬ 
side for winter blooming, and are 
almost certain to do well. In spring 
they can again be bedded out and 
will bloom finely all the season, but 
will bo too much exhausted for 
another winter’s blooming. Tlio 
following are the best known vari¬ 
eties. 
Price IS cents each ; S for So cents ;

A beautiful Palm is one of the finest additions that can bs 
made to any collection of plants, but the high prices of the 
best varieties have prevented most, people from possessing 
one. Then, again, there are but few of the best sorts which 
succeed well with ordinary viui^ow culture. It is therefore 
with pleasure that we arc now able to offer one of the most 
beautiful sorts in existence, and one that is hard v and robust 
enough to succeedanyw here, ataprlco which brings it within 
the reach of all. It haselcgant dark green, fan-sha pod leaves, 
from which hang thread-like filaments as seen in the cut. 
The plant is a compact grower, well adapted to pot culture, 
succeeding in any situation, and with any treatment that will 
keep a Geranium alive. It will flourish in any window for 
anybody, making a grand ornament during winter, and in 
summer it can adorn a veranda, or be placed in any shady 
place nbout the garden or yard, or used for a cent re in a vase, 
basket or flower bed—always ornamental anywhere. All 
Palms of the fan-leaved sorts have, when young, leaves of a 
long, narrow shape, developing the round fan-shaped ones as 
they grow older. Therefore, when you get your plants and 
see long leaves instead of round ones, do not think that a 
wrong sort has been stmt you. Strong plants 20c. each; 3 for 
50c.; 7 tor $1.00.

and sure to germinate. Per paper, 15c.
