Carnation 



Carnations are general favorites for their delicious fragrance and 

 richness of colors. They are indispensable, both for greenhouse culture 

 in winter and for the garden in summer. The Marguerite and Chabaud 

 type are the best for summer flowering.

1850 Hardy Border Double Mixed. A good hardy strain for 

 outdoor culture, tlovvcring the second season and producing 

 a mass of flowers in a great variety of colors. J oz., 50 cts. . SO 15 



1831 Chabaud's Everblooming. Raised by a famous French 

 specialist. Blooms in five months after being sown, and 

 continues to produce its splendid double flowers in the 

 greatest profusion indefinitely. Mixed colors 25 



Marguerite Carnations 



These are deservedly the most popular Carnations with the amateur, 

 as they begin flowering in a few weeks from time of sowing. The strain 

 offered is of extra fine quality, producing on long, strong stems an 

 abundance of large, double, beautifully-fringed, highly-scented flowers; 

 with slight protection they will survive an ordinary winter and bloom 

 freely the following spring.
