CARNATION 



71 



Chabaud's Giant-Flowering (Annual) 

 An Ideal Summer Flowering Garden Carnation 



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 thickset and bushy; stalks stiff and up- 

 right, bearing immense double blossoms of perfect regularity, all perfuming 

 the air with their sweetness; of incontestable merit for winter flowering and 

 hardy enough for garden culture. 



Seed should be sown in the spring in the greenhouse, hot-bed or light window 

 of dwelling house, in shallow boxes (2 inches deep) of light soil, where the tem- 

 perature will average 60 deg. When the seedings are 2 inches high, plant them 

 in the open ground, where they will form flowering clumps for the fall and winter.
