iiffiVffffiiWtVim forreston, Texas, March 29,1899. G. Drobish— Dear Sir:— Plan ts received in good condition. All have given en- tire satisfaction. Some that never received any flow- ers from you say they are the nicest plants they ever saw shipped out. Yours truly, S. H. S. EVERYONE likes the rich, spicy odor of the Carnation, which is positively delicious, combined with its varied color and hand- some form, leaves little to be desired. They are very easily grown and bloom freely, either as bedding plants in Summer, or in the greenhouse or window garden in Winter. Planted out in April they will commence flowering in the Summer and continue until checked by heavy frosts in late Autumn. If intended for Win- ter flowering, they should not be allowed to exhaust themselves by blooming in the Summer,but the buds ought to be pinched out as they appear, and should be taken up and potted before the first of Octo- ber, and kept shaded and close for a few days, when they will be ready for removal to the conservatory or window where they are to bloom. The collection named below contains the very finest varie- ties in cultivation, which will be most certain to please the cultiva- tor, and cannot be too highly recommended, including as it does, some of the latest novelties. All lovers of these beautiful flowers ought to try a small collection of them. Price, 8 cents; four for 25c; ten for 50 cents; twenty for $1.00. American Flag —A distinct and nov- el variety. Of good size; alternately stri- ped red and white. Argyle — Color a lovely shade of car- mine pink, or pure cerise. Armaxlnda—Color snow white, very lightly penciled scarlet, stem very stiff; the flower is large and never bursts. One of the most profuse bloomers in the whole family, and surpassed by no variety in beauty and good qualities. Bon-Ton—Bright warm scarlet; large, deeply-fringed flowers. Dawn—Center of the flower of a soft delicate pink or rose color; pure white at the edge. Daybreak—Of large size, very double and full center: the petals are thick and of heavy texturd; the flowers keep Eerfect a long time after cut. In color it is a beautiful pure right flesh color, and is entirely distinct from any other va- riety now in cultivation. Given away as a premium. Delia Fox—A rival of Daybreak. A strong grower and large flower of a lovely salmon-rose color. Eldorado—A yellow of free blooming habit, strong, vigorous plant, finely formed flower of large size.
