of bloom, freshness of color, neatness of flower, length 
and stiffness of stem, and keeping qualities when cut. 
The flovver6 under fair cultivation average fully two 
inches in diameter, and are possessed to an unusual de¬

rooted plants, each, 15 cts.; dozen, $1.50; hundred, $S.oo. 
CARNATION NICHOLSON. This is the largest — often

vigorous growth, and so far they have not been afiected 
by rust or other disease. The flowers are borne in con¬ 
tinuous profusion on long still stems, and a burst calyx 
is unknown among them. The foliage is very luxuriant,
