Hardy Garden Carnation Seed. This is a very fine strain 

 worked up by n celebrated French carnation specialist, and 

 particularly adapted to garden planting. Seed sown in the 

 spring will produce large, thrifty clumps that will stand out 

 over winter and bloom throughout the following summer and 

 fall. All colors, shades and markings are represented in the 

 mixture, and most of them will come double Pkt. 1 5

 a magnificent variety of colors, and, making this strain still 

 more valuable, it produces flowers of clear yellow and others 

 with yellow stripe* 25

In this new class of Cannas we have something of pronounced 

 merit for bedding — either in rows or large clumps — and for winter 

 flowering in pots they are of scarcely less value. The foliage is 

 luxuriant and the plants dw arf in habit. Their great merit, bow- 

 ever, lies in the large size and brilliant hues of theflowers, ranging 

 through all shades of yellow and orange to the richest crimson, 

 scarlet and vermilion; some are also beautifully spotted. Seed 

 sown in hot bed or greenhouse from January to April will pro- 

 duce flowering plants by July. (See cut.)

 Hew Variegated Leaved Canna. A most beautiful 

 foliagedCanna from the Solomon Islands. The luxuri- 

 ant green leaves are thickly splashed, lined and barred 

 with red and yellow and margined with clear crimson, 

 the flowers of brilliant crimson-scarlet, while not as large 

 as those of the improved Crozy Cannas, yet, combined 

 with such handsome variegated foliage, renders this 

 Canna a most striking feature for sub-tropical beds on 

 the lawn. (See cut) Pkt. 25

GIflNT-FLOWERING 

 MARGUERITE . . . 



These gorgeous and fragrant gar- 

 den Carnations flower profusely 

 summer and autumn, from 

 seeds sonn in the spring. 



HLL lovers of Carnations 

 have reason to be grate- 

 ful for the introduction 

 of this wonderfully improved 

 strain. The flowers often meas- 

 ure three inches across, and are 

 usually as double as double can 

 be; most of them have beautifully 

 fringed petals, and are delightfully 

 fragrant. One great merit of these 

 Carnations is that they commence to 

 flower in about twelve weeks' time from 

 seed. Seeds sown in the spring will pro- 

 duce luxuriant plants that will be continu- 

 ally full of bloom from August until killed 

 by severe frosts. If desired, the plants can be 

 potted in the autumn, and they will continue 

 to bloom profusely in the house through the 

 winter, or seeds may be sown during the sum- 

 mer for the best winter-flowering plants.
