CARNATIONS 
The popularity of the Carnation is on the 
increase very rapidly. Next to Roses the 
Carnation is most sought after. We offer 
a choice selection of the best varieties.

in many sections it is being grown to the exclusion of all other white varieties. Can be depended 
upon for good size, nicely shaped bloom in profusion. Color, ivory-white. Stem, form and 
habit of growth excellent. 
CARDINAL-A bright crimson with flowers of an enormous size. This new Carnation has 
taken several prizes in the latest shows. It is as strong indoors as well as out. It is an early pro¬ 
ducer and increases in quantity as late as July. 
ELDORADO —Light clear yellow, petals edged with a narrow band of light pink. A strong, 
vigorous grower with fine healthy foliage; stems of good length, supporting large, finely formed 
flowers. The color shows up well under artificial light, and does not look white as many yellows do #

magnificent color, fine strong stem, and early, free and continous blooming habit. The color is a 
beautiful shade of light silvery pink, deepening toward the centre. The flowers are enormous— 
three and a half to four inches in diameter. It does not burst the calyx at any season. It is an 
ideal grower, very healthy and of vigorous constitution. 
G. H. CRANE—Without doubt the best scarlet grown. It was tested by the originator for 4 
years before being introduced to the public. Nothing will equal it for large flowers of quality and 
quantity. Color, a flaming scarlet. Growth strong, hardy, broad foliage and makes a well formed 
plant; fine large flowers on strong stiff stems.

Chrysanthemums. Flowers are of immense size on fine stiff stems. Sure to 
please. Said to be President Roosevelt’s favorite variety. 
COL. D. APPLETON—After thorough test this new Chrysanthemum 
has proved to be one of the finest yellows ever sent out. It is an ideal ex¬ 
hibition variety, with flowers of immense size, measuring 22 inches in circurn- 
ferance and of great depth. Flower is a magnificent Japanese incurved with 
lower petals reflexed, and not showing any center. Besides its Immense size 
and beautiful shade of clear yellow, another point in its favor is its almost 
faultless stem and foliage growing fully up to the flower. 
DR. ENGUEIIARI)—Japanese incurved. One of the best introductions 
of recent years; has been awarded highest honors wherever exhibited. Color, 
a true pink, without the least trace of purple. Stem and foliage perfect.

broad stiff petals; color deep, rich, velvetry crimson, with no shade of brown

Cullingfordii, but it is much heavier and darker. The leaves grow close up 
to the flower, which gives the plant an elegant appearance. 
GLORY OF THE PACIFIC—This fine variety will rank as the very be9t 
of early pink sorts. It is of magnificent and depth, with broad petals, which 
finally relax, showing the clear pink color to excellent advantage. The plant

grown for supplying the early market, and equally valuable for outdoor planting. A grand Chrysanthemum that should be in every collection.

fect form and finish, like ivory at its best. Habit dwarf; keeping qualities excellent. Foliage well up to the flower, stiff stem. This is an ideal Chrysanthemum.

We do not think it posseses a single fault. Winner of twenty-six prizes.

flowers up to date. Indispensable for exhibition. Grand stem and foliage.

globular form; exceedingly robust in habit of growth, carrying its immense flowers on stiff upright stems. Has created a greater sensation among the florists
