Pink Variety.

EnchantressCarnation. 
A delicate blush. Stem 
strong and splendid 
foliage. Won first prize 
in New York. Price, 
. r )0c. each, $5.00 per

Mrs. John E. Dunne. A 
splendid terra cotta, 
with just enough pink 
and golden-yellow to brighten it and make it most attract¬ 
ive. It is of dwarf habit, stocky, with fine stems and foliage. 
A beautiful flower and grand either for exhibitions or for cut 
flowers; very large. 
Mrs. Henry Partridge. The most satisfactory deep crimson 
variety yet introduced; it has a bronze reverse. It never 
damps the petals and opens fine without any shading. The 
shape of the flower is open, petals loosely overlaid, showing 
the reverse slightly, so that the grand color is displayed to the 
best advantage. 
Mrs. D. Willis James. A rich, warm shade of chestnut terra 
cotta with an old gold reverse. It is verv early; perfect 
flowers were certificated in New York October 9th.‘ Fine for 
bush plants as in that stage the flowers are brilliant red. A 
nice dwarf grower with splendid stem and foliage. 
Mme. G. Rivol. A yellow “sport ” from Mme. Paolo Radaelli 
and a splendid, deep color. The growth is splendid and it is a 
useful sort for all purposes. 
Morton F. Plant. This is truly a magnificent variety. Im¬ 
mense blooms on the style of Viviand-Morel, but twice as 
large. The center stands high and the petals fall away from 
it in a graceful, wavy shower. The color is a grand, true, 
clear, rosy-pink, deep and lustrous, glistening in the sunlight. 
It scored 95 points on exhibition and commercial scale, a 
remarkable record. The stem and foliage are grand. We 
cannot recommend this too highlv either for exhibition or 
commercial use. Price, 50c. each, $5.00 per doz. 
On this page we offer a carefully selected 
list of the best of the new and.rare varieties 
shown at the exhibitions last season. They 
are all very distinct and marked improve¬ 
ments over previously introduced sorts. 
Beatrice May. A splendid white variety, 
of the largest size. It is unsurpassed in 
stem and foliage and has a splendid habit; 
dwarf, strong and stocky. The foliage 
comes up to the flower. Flowers on ter¬ 
minal buds taken in September show a 
flush of pink on the petals. 
0. Montigny. A very large, globular, closely 
incurved flower with rather narrow petals; 
yellow with light lacings of red on the edges 
of the petals. A grand exhibition variety. 
Mid-season. 
Dolly Glide. A grand grower, color a soft 
creamy-white. A grand flower with broad and 
heavy petals. Not the largest, but splendid 
form, strong, erect stems and fine foliage. 
Ethel Fitzroy. An early variety, color an 
orange-amber with red shadings which is 
very attractive. A magnificent flower, very 
large and handsome; a bold, fine incurved, 
Japanese type with broad, curling petals. 
A very popular variety and one of the very 
best in the list of new sorts. 
Jeannie Nonin. _ A grand, late, globular white. 
For Thanksgiving Day and later this has 
no rival. It is a splendid flower, keeping 
well long after being cut. Won the silver 
cup at Chicago for the best white. A stately 
flower and the most valuable of recent in¬ 
troductions for cut flowers. 
G. J. Brooks. Crimson-maroon with reverse of plum color and 
touches of white; a loosely formed flower of the incurved type, 
very graceful, showing the unique coloring at its best. The 
form is excellent and the finish to the flower splendid. Strong 
stiff stems and splendid foliage. Ph’ne for exhibitions. 
Japan. A very unique variety, imported from Japan. The 
color is an exceedingly rich orange-yellow, with citron-red 
at the base of the petals. It is distinctly Japanese in shape, 
loose and graceful, with the ends of the petals curiously hooked 
and cleft. Very useful for loose bunches of flowers. It 
makes a splendid plant for growing in pots. 
Lady Cranston. A “sport” from Mrs. Barkley. It is pure 
white with a vivid pink center, unique and distinct; a sensa¬ 
tional variety. 
Mrs. J. A. Miller. A deep red and dwarf sturdy grower. One 
of the largest flowers, and held a commanding position in the 
exhibitions. 
Mrs. F. F. Thompson. An informal flower of enormous size. 
The form is deep and incurving, the petals twist and curl like 
a mass of ostrich plumes. Color pink with creamy-white 
center. A grand exhibition sort. 
Matchless. A magnificent, deep, Indian red. The form is a 
fine type of the reflexed Japanese which displays at its best 
the beautiful rich color effects of the flower. It is a variety 
of very easy growth, fine habit, and one of the best for keeping 
long after being cut. In full bloom about October 15th. 
Old Gold. A charming color, aptly described by the name. 
The flower is not one of the largest, but its lack of size is made 
up by the splendid stem and foliage. It is of unusual excel¬ 
lence for growing in pots and for use in decorative effects. 
Valerie Greenham. A beautiful, bright pink variety, shading 
deeper towards the center and lessening slightly towards the 
extremities. The coloring is charming, one of the best in its 
type. The petals are extra long and they droop and curl in 
the most lavish profusion, forming one of the grandest speci¬ 
mens of the drooping Japanese type. It has been a uniform 
winner at the exhibitions. F>rice, 40c. each, $4.00 per doz. 
(except where noted). Set of 19 new and rare sorts for $7.00. 
“GOLDEN BABY.” Forms a compact bush about a foot high 
and covering itself with hundreds of golden-yellow, double 
flowers, } inch in diameter, quilled petals, perfectly formed. 
A remarkable feature is its delightful fragrance , reminding 
one of Lily of the Valley. Price, 15c. each, $1.50 per doz.
