CARNATION GIANT FANCY EVER- 

 BLOOMING. 



rhe 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

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. Pkt.

Canna Seed should be 

 cut at one of the ends 

 to a depth of one-six- 

 teenth 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 border, as winter flower- 

 ing plants in pots they are 

 also of great value." The foliage 

 is luxuriant and the plants 

 are dwarf in habit. The flow- 

 ers are of immense size and 

 of very brilliant colors, rang- 

 ing 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 July.

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 66, can also be treated in this manner.
