PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK- 



Chabaud's Giant Taney, Perpetual Flowering' 

 Have been produced by Monsieur B. Chabaud, the 

 famous French " CamationlBt," who has done more 

 to improve this class of flower than any one in the 

 world, and these, his latest and best creations, sur- 

 pass all the race in richness of coloring, the combi- 

 nations of which are surprisingly beautiful and in- 

 describable. Heretofore this grand type of Carna- 

 tion only flowered once a year — 15 to 18 months 

 after sowing — but now, thanks to Monsieur Cha- 

 baud's scientific hybridisation, we have Fancy Pinks, 

 with all of the qualities of the old so-called Perpetual 

 Carnation, floweringcontinuously after six months from 

 sowing. Plants thickset and bushy, of regular height; 

 stalks stiff and upright, bearing immense double blos- 

 soms of perfect regularity, some with fringed edges, some 

 smooth, some with rich, solid colors, others tinted and 

 blended, and others with featherings and picotee markings 

 and all perfuming the air with their sweetness. They an- of 

 incontestable merit for flowering in winter as well as hardy 

 enough for garden culture. Mixed Colors 1'kt. 25

 latest developments in this favorite autumn- 

 flowering garden annual; the flowers are giants, as

 great substance, and as chaste and lovely as water 

 lilies.

TRAILING AMARANTH. 



(Gomphrena Gnaphahoides.) 



A very novel member of the Globe Amaranth 

 family, of trailing habit, growing exuberantly 

 on poor soil and in a dry location, where 

 it will soon be covered with pretty white 

 flowers like small clover blossoms; trained 

 over embankments, rocks, etc., it is a very attractive object Pkt. 25

 growth of plant, and from the latter the noble flowers, the colors of which are infinitely 

 varied from glistening white through shades of red, from flesh-pink to crimson, and through blues fri im 

 silvery lilac to royal purple, etc.; and all flowers are deliriously fragrant; for bouquets, vases or as 

 corsage flowers the airy grace of the giant long-stemmed flowers renders them of exceptional value.

 freely in the garden the first summer from seed sown in the spring. They are of strong, bushy form, 

 about 4 feet high.
