It was this del cate shade which suggested its name of ' Daybreak,' because of the similarity to the first faint tinge of pink seen in the eastern sky at sunrise. The growth of the plant is vigorous and healthy, and the flowers possess the Carnation frag- rance in a marked degree. (See cut.) Price, plants from 2 in. pots, $4 per 100

Marguerite Monthly Carnations. A new race of monthly Carnations which are of the greatest value for summer blooming. They bloom in lavish profusion the whole summer long. These have been brought to such perfection by crossing and careful selection that the flowers are mostly all double ; they are all elegantly fringed and deliciously fragrant. The range of colors and shades, the variation and diversity of markings, surpass anything as yet known in Carnations: all colors belonging to the family are represented, and combinations of these have developed new shades. The plants are all grown from selected seed. Price, $ per 100. Hardy Garden Carnations. Every color known in Carnations is represented—white, crimson, scarlet, orange, maroon, yellow, striped, speckled, etc.; but although all these colors and numerous shades not mentioned are to be found in them, yet having been grown from mixed seed we cannot supply any special color. Strong, healthy plants from open ground. Price, $ per 100. White Carnation, Lizzie McGowan. A splendid white variety, as yet unsurpassed for size, form, constitution and habit.
