CARNATION, CHABAUD'S Giant Fancy Perpetual-Flowering 



These creations of a French "Carnationist" surpass all the race in richness and 

 variety of coloring, and are surprisingly beautiful. Now we have Fancy Pinks, 

 with all the qualities of the old Perpetual Carnation, flowering continuouslj' after 

 si.x inonths from sowing. Plants thick-set and bushy; stalks stiff and upright, 

 bearing immense double blossoms of perfect regularity, some with fringed 

 edges, some with smooth, some with rich solid colors, others tinted and blended, 

 and others with featherings and picotee markings, and all perfuming the air 

 with their sweetness; of incontestable merit for winter flowering and hardy 

 enough for garden culture.

I CARNATION, MARGUERITE, Giant-Flowering 



These flower profusely in summer and autumn from seed sown in the 

 spring. The flowers of this wonderful strain often measure 3 inches across, 

 and are usually as double as double can be. The variety of colors includes 

 white, blush, deep pink, salmon, carmine, scarlet, dark crimson, maroon and 

 many beautiful variegated flowers. Most of them have lovely fringed petals 

 and are delightfully fragrant. One great merit of these Carnations is that 

 they commence to flower in about twelve weeks' time from seed. Seed sown in 

 the spring will produce luxuriant plants that will be continually full of bloom 

 from August until killed by severe frosts, or seeds may be sown during the 

 summer for the winter-flowering plants. {See engraving'.)
