It is very fragrant and possesses remarkable keep- ing qualities. The variety possesses a vigorous constitution, is easily propaga- ted, easily transplanted, and is, more- over, very prolific in bloom. Estelle (Witterstaetter).—A very free flowering scarlet of medium size, the result of crossing various scarlet seed- lings during the past eight years. The work began with Portia and Jubilee was used as pollen parent in the last cross. Adonis (Witterstaetter).—It has taken eight years to develop this scarlet variety by the frequentcrossing of scarlet seedlings, the final seed parent being a seedling of Adelaide Kresken and The Stuart, obtained five 3'ears ago. CARNATION I'ERU. W. W. Coles writes: Having seen this carnation blooming for the past three years in two different locations and last year having seen it in nearly every month from November to May, I wish to say I consider it the best money-making white carnation that has come under my notice. It is a very easy variety to root, makes a strong, quick growth, and lifts easily in the fall. But the crowning point of this peerless variety is its healthy growth and free and everlasting blooming qualities. It starts to bloom early and is never once oft crop until pulled out in summer. The color is a pure white, large flowers onlongstifl stems. It originated in 1895 with F. B. Tinker, Peru, Ind. I havenot grown a plant of this variety but am pleased to be able to get some stock this year as I regard it as a first-class com- mercial sort. RED SPIDER ON
