f ARNATION SEED. 



These gorgeous and fragrant garden 



Carnations flower profusely 



summer and autumn, from seeds 



sown in the spring. 



ALL lovers ot Cai-nations have reason to be grateful for the introduction of this wonderfully 

 improved strain. The flowers often measure 3 inches across, and are usually as double as 

 double can be. The variety of color Is also much greater in this strain. There are wliite, blush, 

 deep pink, salmon, carmiiie, scarlet, dark crimson, maroon, and nian.v beautltuil.v variegated 

 flowers. There are picotee-edged. spotted, striped, tinted, etc., etc. Most of them have beauti- 

 fully fringed petals, and are delightfull.v 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. 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 summer for 

 the best winter-flowering plants. 



Too much cannot be said in praise of tliese magnificent Carnations. They were originally pro- 

 duced by crossing the large-flowering annual garden Pinks with the Carnation proper, retaining the 

 characteristic flowers, ilove fragrance and foliage of the latter with the desirable merits of blooming 

 quickly and ijrofusely from seed and the bushy, luxuriant growth of the former. (See cut.)

Chaband's Perpetual Plowerinff. These 

 latest and best creations of Jlons. B. Chabaud, 

 the famous French " Caruationist," surpass all 

 the race in richness of coloring, the c'>mbin;i- 

 tions of which are surprisingly beautiful and 

 indescribable. Heretofore this grand type of 

 Carnations only flowered once a year — 15 to 18 

 months after sowing — but now we have Fancy 

 Pinks, wntli all of the qualities of tlie old so- 

 called Perpetual Carnation, flowering continu- 

 ously after (J months from sowing. Plants 

 thickset and bushy, of regulai; height; stalks 

 stiff and upright, bearing immense double 

 blossoms of perfect regularity, somewith triugi'd 

 edges, some smooth, some with rich, sulid 

 colors, others tinted and blended, and others 

 with featherings and picotee markings, and all 

 perfuming the air with their sweetness; of in- 

 contestable merit for winter-flowering and 

 hardy enough for garden culture.
