CARNATIONS 
Hardy Perennial 
CARNATIONS AND PICO- 
TEES. In the flower group known 
as Dianthus Caryophillus. Picotees 
are carnations with white flowers, 
trimmed or spotted or edged witii 
some other color. ‘The so-called } 
carnations have within recent dec- 
ades developed into types of rare 
beauty and fragrance. The Mar- 
guerite carnations are among the 
best of the class. Most of the car- 
nations are quite hardy, surviving 
the winter if given a slight protec- 
tion. No flowers are more lovely. 
Seeds sown thinly in the open 
ground, in spring, will bloom the 
tirst season.

CHABAUD’S PERPETUAL {ff 
EARLY FLOWERING. This

bles the Marguerite carnation in | 
exquisite beauty and in early bloom- 
ing habit, but is perpetual growing 
or perennial. Large flowers. A1)l 
colors mixed, Packet, 15 cents. 



CARNATION MAMMOTH FLOWERING MARGUERITE. 
Half Hardy Perennial Carnation 
MAMMOTH FLOWERING MARGUERITE. I regard these glor- 
ious flowers as the best of all the so-called pinks, especially for the 
open garden. The Marguerite carnation is ready to bloom in a few 
weeks from the sowing of the seed, and is the most profuse bloomer of 
the whole group of pinks. The plants are of compact and robust 
growth, but of dwarf habit. They are easily managed, and make the 
best of bedding plants. They may be treated as annuals, or wintered 
(under some protection) in the open air. They make admirable win- 
dow plants, and may be potted for this purpose in the autumn. The 
best plan, perhaps, is to sow fresh seed every spring, so as to always 
have vigorous young plants for summer, autumn and winter blooming. 
The flowers are extremely fragrant. The size of bloom is 2 inches, or 
even up to3inches. The colors include rose, white, scarlet, yellow, ete. 
Some are plain and some striped. All are excellent. All colors. 
Rose. Packet, 10 cents. White. Packet, 10 cemts. 
Scarlet. Packet, 10 cents. Yellow. Packet, 10 cents. 
FINEST MIXED. All the above in a grand mixture. 
Packet, 10 cents; \4 ounce, 40 cents; ounce, $1.25.
