Carnation Cbabaud's Bnfant de Nice 



Carnation Chabaud's Enfant de Nice 



Carnation Enfant de Nice Is the result of a cross 

 between Carnation Chabaud's Giant Improved and 

 Carnation Perpetual. The plants are of robust, up- 

 right habit with long, strong stalks bearing flowers 

 2% to 3 inclies in diameter. This strain is magnificent 

 and is, so far, the last word in annual Carnations. The 

 colors come about 75% true from seed and about 90% 

 of the plants come double.

SPECIAL FLORISTS STRAIN 



Cornflowers always have been a very important crop 

 with many florists. Yet heretofore even the best strains 

 lacked the fullness and doubleness of the flowers so 

 necessary to their perfect appearance. Dreer's Ultra- 

 Double strain will immediately appeal to all because 

 the blooms are exceptionally double, forming round 

 flufCy balls of great beauty. The general character of 

 the plants resembles the older type. They grow 2 feet 

 high, are well-branched, and produce a great quantity 

 of long-stemmed flowers for cutting.
