These two fine Carnations are seed¬ 
lings of our own, and have been under 
test for three years, during which time 
we have had opportunity to thorough¬ 
ly test their' value as compared with 
other fine new varieties. We can un¬ 
hesitatingly say that they possess 
merits which fairly put them at the 
head of the list. For winter blooming 
in pots they excel all others. Flowers 
gigantic in size, perfect in form, borne 
on long stems, very fragrant, and of 
such substance that they outlast oth¬ 
ers. Plant healthy and vigorous, of
