Strong FieId=Grown 
Carnations 
For Immediate Bloom 
Carnation Pinks are the sweetest and most beau¬ 
tiful flowers you can possibly have for Winter bloom, 
and it is easy to have them in abundance if you get 
Our Strong Field-grown Clumps, which are specially 
prepared for Winter flowering, and will break into 
full bloom almost as soon as potted, and continue 
bearing flowers as long as in growing condition. 
The following are the best varieties for Winter 
flowering: 
CLIMAX—We have found this variety more popular than 
either Enchantress or Thomas W. Lawson, because it is 
easy to grow and almost sure to make a full crop. Flow¬ 
ers are rich salmon pink, prettily fringed and delightfully 
clove scented ; large flowers, well borne up on tall stiff 
stems. 
DOROTHY—Large full flowers, rich dark pink prettily fringed 
and delightfully perfumed; fine both for garden planting 
and cut flowers. 
ELBON—Large elegant flowers, rich flaming scarlet, very handsome 
and highly perfumed. 
BOSTON MARKET — Fine pure white flowers, elegantly fringed and 
richly clove-scented; a strong, healthy grower, immensely productive. 
FLORA HILL—Pure white, fine large flowers on long, stout stems. 
LIBERTY—A good, strong grower that blooms freely on long stiff stems ; flowers 
are large and of intense scarlet. 
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT—One of the most perfect dark Carnations we have ever seen ; 
deep rich crimson scarlet, shaded maroon; a strong healthy grower and free bloomer.

vety crimson, shaded and marbled with black; elegantly

ings ; an erect bushy grower.

for bedding.
