 seeds sown In the "f'T _ ^ 



THE flowers of this wonderful strain often measure 3 inches 

 across, and are usually as double as double can be. The 

 variety of color includes white, blush, deep pink, salmon, 

 carmine, scarlet, dark crimson, maroon, and many beauti- 

 fully variegated flowers. Most of them have beautifully fring- 

 ed 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 

 produce luxuriant plants that will be continually full of 

 bloom from August until killed by severe frosts, or seeds maj 

 be sown during the summer for the winter-flowering plants.

Chabaud's Giant Fancy 

 Perpetual=F lowering Carnations 



THESE latest and best creations of Mons. B. Chabaud, 

 the famous French "Carnationist," surpass all the 

 race in richness and variety of coloring, the combinations 

 of which are surprisingly beautiful. Heretofore tins grand 

 type of Carnations only flowered once a year — 15 to IS 

 months after sowing — but now we have Fancy Pinks, with 

 all cif the qualities of the old Perpetual Carnation, flowering 

 continuously after 6 months from sowing. Plants thick- 

 set and bushy, stalks stiff and upright, bearing immense 

 double blossoms of perfect regularity, some with fringed 

 edges, some smooth, some with rich, solid colors, others 

 tinted and blended, and others with leatherings and picotee 

 markings, and all perfuming the air with their sweetness, 

 of incontestable merit for winter flowering and hardy enough 

 fot garden culture. {See cut.)
