MARGUERITE CARNATIONS. 
All Colors. Finest Mixed. 
Lregard these glorious 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 man- 
aged, and make the best of bedding plants. ; 
They may be treated as annuals, or win- 
tered (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 tosow fresh 
seed every spring, So as to always have vigor- 
ous young plants for summer, autumn and 
winter blooming. The flowers a e extremely 
fragrant. The size is two inches, or even up to 
three inches. The colors include rose, white, 
scarlet, yellow, ete. Some are plain and some 
striped. All are excellent, Packet, 10 cents; 
8 packets, 25 cts.; ounce, $2.00.

@habaud’s Perpetual Early Flowering. 
This charming carnation may be classed and 
treated as an annual. It resembles the Mar- 
guerite carnation in exquisite beauty and in 
early blooming habit, but is perpetual growing 
or perennial. Large flowers. All colors mixed. 
Packet, 15 cents; 2 packets, 25 cents.

Chrysanthemums. 
All Colors. Finest Mixed. 
New chrysanthemums are origi- 
nated from seed, and people who en- 
joy original work in this line will find 
great pleasure in planting my mix- 
ture and in watching the blooms un- 
fold in the autumn. There are no 
blanks in a lottery of this kind, but 
there are sure to be some rich prizes; 
plants which the cultivator will care 
to transfer to the permanent bed or 
border. There is no more interesting 
work in the garden than this, and I 
have only to say that this chrysan- 
themum seed is of the choicest strain, 
with endless possibilities of high 
merit. Packet, 20 cents.
