 and best varieties for fcarden culture ; IV^ft. Pkt., 10c. 



CG.3. C. Marguerite. Without exception these are the 

 most abundant bloomers of all the Carnation Pinks. The 

 Howers are of brilliant colors, ranging through many beau- 

 tiful shudes of red, pink, white, variegated, etc.; they are of 

 perfect form and large size. Those sown in spring commence 

 Jlowering in early summer, and continue to bloom in lavish 

 profusion until checked by frost. They can be potted and 

 taken in the house and will flower abundantly throughout 

 the winter, though if intended specially for winter flowering, 

 it will be better to sow later in the season. The plants are 

 compact and robust in habit, supporting themselves without 

 the use of unsightlv stakes. {See cut.) Pkt., lOc; 3 pkts., 25c. 



GGl. C. Finest Double Striped. Pkt., 10c. 



The only strain of Pinks 

 bloomingrthe first Season 

 that Contains Tellow. 



GG5. This new race originated with M. Gillaiid, a cele- 

 brated French specialist, and, like the Dianthus Margarilae. 

 they contain considerable Carnation blood and yet possess *_ 

 all of the profuse and early blooming qualities of the 

 annual Dianthus. 



TheGillaud Pinks bloom profusely in the summer and 

 autumn from spring sown seed ; the flowers are very 

 large, of perfect shape, very fragriint, and last a longer time 

 either cut or on the plants than D. Margaritse, and making 

 this strain still more valuable. They contain flowers of dear 

 yellow and others with yellow stripes. The seeds which we 

 offer in mixture contain a magnificent variety of colors and 

 shades. They are equally adapted for open ground and 

 pot culture, and will, we think, prove indispensable to the 

 florist. Pkt., 1.5c.; 2 pkts.,2.jc.
