CARNATION, Chabaud's Giant-Flowering {Annual) 



{Illustrated in Colors on Page 84.) 



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

 coloring, and are surprisingly beautiful. Now we have varieties with all the qualities of the 

 old Perpetual Carnation, flowering continuously after six months 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, others with featherings and picotee markings, all perfuming the air with their sweet- 

 ness; of incontestable merit for winter flowei ; ng and hardy enough for garden culture.

CARNATION MARGUERITE, Giant Flowering (Annual) 



These flower profusely in summer and autumn from seed sown in the spring. The flowers 

 of this wonderful strain often measure 2 inches across, and are usually as double as double can 

 be. 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 continuously full of bloom 

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

 winter-flowering plants. (See illustration.)
