New Carnation G. H. CRANE. H.CRANE. (Dorner.) We do not hesitate to recommend this as the coming scarlet caruation. Nothing will equal it. Tested three years and has proven to be a most satisfactory variety, not alone as a scarlet, but as a commercial carnation. A large flowering sort, producing both quality and quantity. It comes into flower early and continues an even all-season bloomer. Produces an average 3 in. bloom, having smooth outer petals with a well built-up centre, a strong, well-formed calyx, a 16 in. to 18 in. stem of remarkable firmness, holding the flower erect in the early part of the season as well as the later spring months, a delightful fragrance, and in color a clear, brilliant scarlet, with no tendency to fade. Growth strong and robust, clean, hard, broad foliage and makes a strong, well-formed plant. It lifts and trans- plants from the field without any noticeable signs of wilting. Model growth, stem, flower, color, and a most essential quality, being in full flower when most needed, recommends it to every grower. Received American Carnation Society certificate in Chicago, February, 1898, receiving ninety-two points; certificate and silver medal at Chicago Chrysanthemum Show, November, 1898; certificate at Indianapolis, Novem- ber, 1898. Rooted cuttings, $2 per doz ; $10 per 100; $75 per 1,000. GLACIER. (Ward.) 2 in. to 3 in. bloom on stiff stems, 10 in. to 15 in. long. Purest snow-white. Habit dwarf, resembling old Snowdon, enormously pro- lific, an early bloomer. Flower of great sub- stance and an excellent keeper. Marked clove fragrance. An easy grower, thriving under almost all conditions. Valuable for making up when grown as short stems ; as blooms are large and fill up fast, and when disbudded and given extra culture, blooms3% iD. in diameter on 14in. to 15 in. stems can be grown. Stock limited. $10.00 per 100. MELBA. (Craig & Son and May.) This is a grand combination of good qualities; free bloomer, early and continuous ; in point of color the finest pink carnation yet produced; large and perfect form ; very fragrant; long, stiff stem. Was very profitable in the New York and Philadelphia markets last winter. Winner of the Craig Cup and Certificate, November, 1897; Certificate, Morristown and Port Chester Shows; Certificate and Silver Medal, Chicago, 1898.
