OF SIX BEAUTIFUL V^i~l±YJL\ iTL 1 JL\J 1\ vj.
There is no sweeter flower than
the Carnation, and they are with-
out question the best of all plants
for Winter blooming. I have
selected six of the very choicest
kinds, including all colors of this
delightful flower, and knovj you
will not be disappointed in get-
ting these varieties. They are
large plants, ready to begin bloom-
ing at once. Many of them will
be in bud when I send them to you.
"Winter" Collection of Carnations 10
cents each; or the set of six for 50
cents.
Field of Gold.— This is a pure yellow
Carnation, of strong" growth and
very profuse flowering. There is
no stripe at all in it, being a straight
out-and-out deep, rich golden-yel-
low, without any other color what-
ever, under any circumstances. The
florets are large and double, as in
Buttercup, and. taken all in all, it is
the very best yellow Carnation out.
White Wines.— I believe this to be the
finest new or old White Carnation
in cultivation. The flowers are of
the purest white, with petals of
great substance, making it one of
the best. It will keep a longtime
■when cut. Fragrant and very pro-
ductive of bloom, and, in all, one of
the best Pinks for Winter blooming.
HTairy Princess. — This is the most beau-
tiful Carnation we know of. The
flowers are very large and perfect
in shape. The color is a pure snow-
white, delicately penciled with
bright crimson. Elegantly fringed.
A very pleasing and charming va-
riety.
Carnation, white wings.
J. B. Freeman.— Very dwarf, and of a nice, bushy growth, forcing very long flower stems, each individual flower stem varying"
from three to eight inches in length. It has periectly formed flowers. Color a rich crimson-maroon. I unhesitatingly recom.
mend this sort.
Tidal Wave.— Flowers very large and perfect in form. Color a bright, ro s y pink, with salmon shading when the flowers are fully
expanded. A very healthy grower and remarkably free bloomer. Plant dwarf, growing about fourteen inches high. This I
consider one of the be&t pink varieties ever offered, and an excellent variety for pot culture.
(Red Cross. — This is by far the grandest dark Carnation ever seen, and at the same time the most abundant bloomer. A brilliant
dark red, shaded'with the richest maroon, fringed petals, nearly every flower being on a long stem. This variety surpasses
in richness of color the most perfect Jacqueminot Roses,
THE OLD-TIME FAVORITE,
STEPHANOTIS FLORIBUNDA.
^ ALWAYS SCARCE.
This is without doubt the rarest of all hard wood vines. It
makes a rapid growth, and bears large clusters of deliciously
fragrant white flowers. Nothing can compare with it for either
the beauty of bloom or for its exquisite fragrance. I have
procured a good stock of it, and offer it very cheap. It is never
offered at less than 75 cents or a dollar. My price, only 25 cents.
GENISTA CANADENSIS.
.Fountain of Gold.)
This beautiful plant well deserves the great popularity it has
gained in the past two years. The drooping branches are
covered with delicate, sage-green foliage, and every twig is
tipped with a long raceme of exquisite, pea-shaped blossoms of a
pure canary color, almost hiding the foliage, and suggesting the
name, ^Fountain of Gold." A fine companion for "Swainsonia
Alba." Price, 20 cents each.
OESTRUM PARQUI, or NIGHT-BLOOM-
ING JASMINE.
These beautiful shrubs are cultivated for the delicate fragrance
of their elegant flowers, which are borne in clusters. It is of
easy culture.
( estrum Parqui.— This well-known and highly prized plant,
blooming nearly all the year, is a native of Chili. An excel-
lent garden pant, growing rapidly. Foliage long and of a
deep green colcr. Produces its richly fragrant flowers at
every joint. Sweet only at night. It is also well adapted to
house and window culture. Price, 10 cents each.
OLEA FRAGRANS. (Sweet Olive.)
One of the most desirable flowering shrubs of Southern gar-
dens, and also a favorite house plant in the North. Has deep-
green foliage similar to the Camellia. The white flowers, al-
though small, are produced in great profusion, and emit the most
pleasing fragrance. It has been well said that each individual
bloom has more sweetness than the most fragrant Lily. 1 he
blooming period begins in the Fall, and lasts for several months.
It is of easy culture, and especially desirable as a window plant.
