I take pleasure in announcing that my new pink carna- tion, the "Mrs. E. A. Nelson," will be distributed in the spring of 1902. In placing the " Mrs. E. A. Nelson" on the market, I do so thoroughly convinced that, as a commercial variety, it will rank among the very best that were ever introduced, and that all the claims I ever made for it will be fully verified by all those who may give it a trial. Those who saw it growing at my place, at various seasons, during the past four years, are unanimous in declaring it to be unquestionably the best commercial pink carnation in sight. Briefly stated, the "Mrs. E. A. Nelson" possesses the fol- lowing meritorious points : SIZE—The average bloom, under ordinary culture, ex= ceeds three inches in diameter. When disbuaded it reaches 33^ and 4 inches. COLOR -A pure, glistening pink, similar to that of Joost, showing equally well in day time and under artificial light. CALYX—Strong and absolutely nonbursting. STEM—2 to 2j4 feet, strong and erect, sustaining the largest blooms No other carnation surpasses it in this respect. BLOOMING QUALITIES—Although a "fancy" of the highest order, it is withal an early, profuse and continuous bloomer. Scott, in its palmy days, never surpassed the "E. A. Nelson " as to continuity and quantity of blooms. HABIT OF GROWTH—Jubt what the grower admires in a carnation. Strong, Clean and vigorous, plants making no idle grass, but every shoot a flower producer. It lifts easily and suffers no setback under the most discouraging con- ditions, which is but another proof of its health and vigor. KEEPING QUALITIES—As good as the best, blooms shipped
