New Carnations for 1897. 
Lily Dean. A very large bold handsome flower, pure white ground with very 
delicate margin and pencilling of clear pink, making it exceedingly beautiful and 
attractive. One of the very freest blooming varieties known. Should be grown 
in a temperature of not over 50 degrees at night, otherwise the very large flower 
is too heavy for the stem. The plant is a strong vigorous grower. It has been 
certificated wherever shown. 
Price $3.00 per doz.; $10.00 per 100; $75.00 per 1000. See page 9.

making it the most distinctly beautiful and attractive flower ever sent out; it is 
also one of the most delightfully fragrant carnations known ; its keeping qualities 
are remarkable; an extra well built flower with good stiff stem which always 
carries it erect, making it an ideal flower. It has received certificates from the 
A. C. S., Philadelphia, New York, Orange, Spring-Held, and many other societies.

E. G. Hill & Co.’s Carnation Novelties for 1897. 
FLORA HILL,. Received N. C. S. certificate, Feb., 1896. The grandest white 
variety to date, and destined to be found in every greenhouse because of its easy 
management. The flower is of enormous size, and rounded build ; wonderfully 
free in bloom, stems not as stiff as those of Jubilee or Armazindy, but strong enough 
to support the blooms nicely, and keeps on stiffening as the season advances; good 
calyx ; not subject to rust. Without exaggeration we can claim this as the most pro¬ 
lific bloomer in the carnation family. Selected cuttings, well rooted. Price, $13.00 
per ion; $100.00 per 1000.
