Paul J. Howard's New Carnations 
Such a great advancement in size, form and fragrance, 
and so many new and alluring colors have been made in the 
last few years, unless one is growing the newer varieties he 
cannot realize what wonderful beauty and interest is to be 
enjoyed in Carnations in the garden. Both in this country and 
in England wonderful strides have been made in the improve¬ 
ment of the Perpetual-flowering Carnation. It is from the 
finest of these creations that we have chosen our list; which 
you will find to be varieties of immense size, and entrancing 
fragrance, and of new colors one would never expect in Car¬ 
nations. 
NEW HYBRIDS 
These Novelty Carnations are hybrids between the American Perpetual 
race and fancy English Border Carnations, introducing an entirely new range 
and unusual variation of color. They have the ever-blooming habit of the 
American type, combined with large size, and the frilled petals and fancy 
colorings of the English type. 
ALLSPICE. The name quite fits the exquisite 
fragrance. The bizarre coloring, rich golden yel¬ 
low splashed with flakes of scarlet, is stunning. 
AMIGO. A gay, distinct new color; the ground 
color of rosy coral is deeply ingrained with broad 
bars of madder lake. 
DANCING GIRL. Lively, frilled flowers, grace¬ 
fully poised on long slender stems. Buff, over¬ 
laid with a brilliant hue between rose and scarlet. 
The variegations are extremely effective. 
FLAG OF SPAIN. The contrasting colors—deep 
orange and crimson—suggest the name. The var¬ 
iegation is very distinct, each color clear and 
brilliant. 
CANARY COTTAGE. Clear, sparkling yellow 
often tinged with orchid at eddes of petals. 
PHOSPHORUS. A beautiful tricolor sulfur-yel¬ 
low, overlaid with a delicate suffusion of orchid. 
The outer edges of the petals are beautifully 
stenciled with crimson-lake. 
UNIQUE. The satin-like petals are soft old 
rose, with narrow lines of purple carmine inter¬ 
woven into them, giving a most striking effect. 
RAJAH. Bizarre in appearance is this variety 
of oriental coloring, golden buff overlaid with 
bars and stripes of pure vermilion. 
PEPPERMINT. Red and white variegated, like 
a stick of peppermint candy. The fragrance is 
decidedly peppermint. 
Price of any of the above Novelty Carnations, 25c each 
Collection: One each of the entire set, 10 plants for $2.25

CARDEN PINKS 
Two fine varieties for cut flowers. 
t BEATRIX. Light salmon-pink flowers very 
double in compact clusters. Often the plants will 
produce carmine and pink flowers together.

variety of hardy Pink, perennial and constantly 
in bloom. The flowers are very double and a clear 
even tone of cherry red on long stems. Very val¬ 
uable as a cut flower. This variety does not pro¬ 
duce seed and is slow to propagate, so is always 
scarce.
