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 >0 



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 through- 

 out the entire season. Pkt.

 give large quantities of delightful carnations 

 early the following summer. They are per- 

 fectly hardy, only requiring a slight covering 

 during winter. The Perennial Pinks, page 64. 

 can also be treated in this manner.
