CARNATION GIANT FANCY EVER 



BLOOMING. 



The famous "Chabaud's" new strain of 

 Carnations are surpassingly beautiful 

 in form and coloring. The old style 

 Perpetuals flowered only once a year, 

 and that at 15 months from sowing. 

 With this new strain one can have 

 "Fancy Pinks" in 6 months from sow- 

 ing. The flowers are enormous, of 

 great substance and sweetness, and 

 continue flowering indefinitely. This is 

 just the Carnation for house culture 

 during fall and winter. It is in this 

 strain that so many of the choice double 

 varieties, that are so popular, are found. 



CARNATIONS. 



Universally admired for the beauty and fragrance of their 

 blossoms, which are too well known to need extended de- 

 scription. The Margaret sorts from Seed sown in spring 

 will produce flowers all summer and fall, after which they 

 can be potted up for flowering in the window garden during 

 winter. H. H. P. 



GIANT MARGARET CARNATIONS. 



A new giant form of the popular Margaret Carnation 

 bearing very large flowers of fine form, delightfully fra- 

 grant and produced in as great abundance and variety of 

 color as that well-known sort. Comes into bloom within a 

 few months from time of sowing, and continuing throughout 

 the entire season.

Giants of Nice, Mixed — Blooms in four 

 months from Seed; the flowers are 

 large, borne on long stems, valuable 

 for cutting 



10 



Canna Seed should be cut at 

 one of the ends to a depth of one- 

 sixteenth of an inch and soaked 

 in warm water for 12 hours. 

 Seeds sown in February in the 

 house will produce blooming 

 plants by July. 



CANNAS. 



Large Flowering French. 



Handsome plants for centers of 

 large beds or back ribbons for bor- 

 der, as winter flowering plants in 

 pots they are also of great value. 

 The foliage is luxuriant and the 

 plants are dwarf in habit. The 

 flowers are of immense size and 

 of very brilliant colors, ranging 

 through all the shades of yellow to 

 the richest crimson, scarlet and 

 vermilion. Many are beautifully 

 spotted. By soaking the Seeds for 

 about twelve hours in warm water 

 previous to sowing in a hot-bed or 

 greenhouse early in the season, 

 they can be' had in flower by the 

 end of Julv.

 FLOWER. 



Tropaeolum Canariense — One 



of the most desirable climb- 

 ing plants in cultivation, 

 growing rapidly to a height 

 of 10 feet, and producing an 

 abundance of yellow-fringed 

 flowers throughout the sea- 

 son. 10 feet. H. A. Per

Grenadin — The flowers are large, bright 

 scarlet, very double and produced in 

 great abundance 5 



Grenadin White — Very early pure 'white 

 flowers, invaluable for cutting 10 



HARDY GARDEN CARNATIONS. 



For early flowering sow in May outdoors, 

 transplanting when large enough. By fall 

 they will make thrifty clumps which will 

 give large quantities of delightful carna- 

 tions early the following summer. They are 

 perfectly hardy, only requiring a slight cov- 

 ering during winter. The Perennial Pinks, 

 page 73, can also be treated in this manner.
