. The Champion City Greenhouses. Nursery stock Ohio Springfield Catalogs; Plants, Ornamental Catalogs; Roses Catalogs; Flowers Catalogs; Bulbs (Plants) Catalogs. 46 The Good & Reese Company's Wholesale Trade List,. ^ur 0rand New Carnations. ETHEL CROCKER, (John H. Sievers & Co.) Absolutely the Best Pink Carnation ever Offered to the Trade. Size and Form of Flowers.—With ordinary culture they will average three to three and a haif inches in diameter; are well formed, with extra heavy petals; coming nearer attaining- exhi- bition and commercial perfection, in one and the same flower, than any other known varietv Color.—The storemen's ideal of a perfect pink shade, equally good under artificial or natural ligh:; brighter and deeper than Mrs. Joost. Stem Twenty-four to thirty inches long, strong enough to hold the flowers erect without staking. Calyx'.—Good and strong; petals rise vertically three-eighths of an inch beyond the mouth of the calyx, before making their spread, which insures its non-breakable character. Freedom.—This is perhaps the strongest of its strong points, as it will produce more long-stemmed flowers than any variety o-rnwn today. Last season it produced less than five per cent of seconds without special culture. "° Fragrance.—Sweet and clove-like. Habit.—Just what the grower wants. Strong, clean growth to the bottom of the plants, not filled with useless foliage, but every shoot a flower producer. Not a cropper, but will bloom continuously from date of planting in the houses until thrown out in Summer. Constitution.—This is another of its strong points; it is entirely free from bacteria, and has a constitution seldom seen in a Carnation* had this not been the case we should not have bought the variety, no matter what its other good points might have been. It is a business Carnation for business growers. Rooted cuttings ready in January. Per twenty-five. $; per one hundred, $; per two hundred and fifty, $'.; p
