MRS. THOHAS W. LAWSON. . . .
. . . THE FAHOUS $30,000.00 CARNATION.
This famous Carnation was bought last
year for $30,000.00, the highest price ever
paid for a flower of any kind. A stand-
ing challenge of 85,000 to produce its
equal within a year failed to find one, so
it still remains undisputedly the best in
the world. The flowers are the largest,
deepest, best formed. The stems are
the longest and strongest. The color,
purest rose-pink, which illuminates
splendidly under artificial light. (See
cut.) Price, 30c. each, $3.00 per doz.
GOLD NUGGET. This fine yellow Carnation has taken the lead
in its class. Its strong growth and productiveness have deter-
mined its true value to the grower. It is of easy culture and re-
sponds liberally to good treatment. The flowers are of the deep-
est yellow, slightly striped with red, of good size and strong
stems. (See cut.) Price, 20c. each, $2.00 per doz. ; strong young
plants from pots.
