BON TON COLLECTION OF CHOiCE NEW MONTHLY CARNATIONS — ^The
e Flower.
PLANT excels the everblooming Carnation Pink — rivaling the Ffase in
beauty of colors and shades, equaling it in lasting perfume and even ex-
celling it in profusion of flowers. Easily grown, and blooms freely, eithe r
as a bedding plant in the Summer or in the greenhouse or window garden in Win-
ter. The collection I here offer is all of the very best new varieties ; indeed, they
are the very best that money can buy, and have a wide range in color. When you
own this collection of Carnations you can rest assured that no person has any that
are finer. Price, 8c each; any eight for 50c ; or the entire list of eighteen for $1.00.
Bon Ton. — This is by far the darkest Carnation ever seen, and
at the same time the mostabundant bloomer. Brilliant dark red
shaded with the richest maroon fringed petals nearly every
flower being on a long stem. This variety surpasses m richness
of color the most perfect Jacqueminot Roses.
Abundance.— Flowers very large and perfect in form. Color
a bright, rosy pink, with salmon shading when the flowers are
fully expanded A very healthy grower and remarkably free
bloomer. Plant dwarf, "growing about fourteen inches "hish
This I consider one of the best pink varieties ever offered, and
an excellent variety for pot culture
Alaska. — This beautiful white Carnation is remarkable for
its extremely vigorous growth, very large flowers perfect shape
purest while. Indeed, for size and freedom of bloom purity of
color, which is immaculate, sweetness of perfume that is deli-
cious, and vigorous growth this variety has no equal. The best
white by far of a dozen varieties I haveof that color

beautiful Carnation yet introduced, and must become very
popular. Flowers are a pure satiny white, and marked and

fect beauty.
Delia Fox.— Its color is almost indescribable Of a rosy orange
shade, striped and flaked with carmine, never bursts its calyx,
is very free and early flowering, and can always be cut with a
long stem, a most desirable feature in a colored Carnation now-
adays.

growth and very profuse flowering There is no stripe at all m
