Afterglow 
AFTERGLOW. (Witterstaetter.) 
The leading novelty of the year; will supersede 
Lawson, as it has a long stem throughout the sea¬ 
son, firm texture, and a brilliant color which does 
not blue nor streak. Up to December 1 we had 
booked over 30.000; up to this date, this variety is 
more than making good its reputation. 
ANDREW CARNEGIE. (C. Carn. Co.) 
A pure-toned, bright scarlet sport from Har- 
lowarden, with all the good qualities of the parent 
variety. The numerous localities where Harlow- 
arden succeeds so admirably will have a warm wel¬ 
come for Andrew Carnegie. 
DEFIANCE. (Rudd.) 
Color a brilliant scarlet, brighter than anything 
in commerce today; blooms average 3 inches in di¬ 
ameter; an excellent keeper and shipper, with no 
tendency to split. 
MAY. (Baur & Smith.) 
Color deeper and brighter than Enchantress; 
size 2 y 2 to 3]/i inches. Calyx strong and stem stiff. 
Habit like Lady Bountiful. Early in coming into 
bloom and quite continuous. 
SARAH HILL. (Knopf.) 
“The largest free-flowering white carnation ever 
produced; the form is beautiful and displays the 
size to the very best advantage; color very pure; 
texture excellent; stem extra long at all times of 
the year; a startling novelty, producing flowers 
with great freedom.'’ 
SNOWFLAKE. (Ward.) 
An extra fine, free-flowering, healthy white, 
which every grower ought to try; seems quite ideal. 
WINONA. 
Pure, medium pink, without either salmon or 
cerise in its shadings. Form, size and calyx all 
score high, while it is an exceptionally strong 
grower, with a fine working habit; blooms early, 
is continuous, and is excellent up to the close of 
the season.
