MAMMOTH FLOWERING MARGUERITE CARNATION.

must be ranked among the most handsome of the 
new garden annuals. The habit of growth and 
general aspect are indicated in the illustration.

yellow, fiery scarlet, purple, salmon, blood red, 
etc. Itis an exceedingly pretty and showy nov- 
elty. Packet, 15 cents; 2 packets, 25 cents. 
Two Grand Types of 
COLEUS. 
New Briar Crest. 
No place could show such a collection of coleus 
as I had at Briar Crest last summer. For years 
I have prided myself that my collection of 
E coleus was unsurpassed; but have kept right 
47 on breeding it up, until now, in variety of 
y colors, shape of foliage, mammoth size, 
etc., I have secured a selection far ahead 
of anyghing ever seen at home or abroad. 
Seed of the Briar Crest coleus is worth more 
than its weight in gold. Packet, 25 cents. 
New Large-leaved 
Sunset Shades. 
A strain of colors remarkable for diversity 
and richness of color combinations. Leaves 
sometimes attain a length of 10 or 12 inches 
and a width of 6 or § inches. Foliage very 
ornamental, being curled, serrated, cut or 
fringed in a most delicate and varied 
way. The prevailing colors are indicated 
by the name, being a rich combination 
of all the tints in a gorgeous sunset.

across, borne in wonderful profusion, and 
¥ more uniformly double than any other 
strain with which I am acquainted. The 
habit of growth is bushy and branching. 
Although such generous bloomers, they 
are very shy seeders. The range of color 
includes white, rose, yellow, buff, pome- 
granate red, scarlet, crimson, purple, { 
lilac and violet.

Mammoth Flowering 
Marguerite Carnations. 
ALL COLORS. FINEST MIXED. 
I regard these glorious flowers as the best of all the so-called pinks, espec- 
ially 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 bed- 
ding plants. They may be treated as annuals, or wintered (under some 
protection) in the open air. They make admirable window 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 is two inches, or even up to three inches. The colors 
include rose, white, scarlet, yellow, etc. Some are plain and some striped. 
All are excellent. Packet, 10 cents; 3 packets, 25 cts.; ounce, $2.00. 
New Carnation. 
CHABAUD’S PERPETUAL 
EARLY FLOWERING. 
This charming carnation 
may be classed and treated 
as an annual. It resembles 
the Marguerite carnation in 
exquisite beauty and in early 
blooming habit, but is per- 
petual growing or perennial. 
Large flowers. All colors 
mixed. Packet, 15 cents.
