MARGUERITE CARNATION. 



Many beautiful varieties of Carnations may be 

 obtained from seed, equaling the greenhouse- 

 grown blooms in fullness and fragrance. These 

 new favorites are a great advance over the old varieties, as they 

 "will be in blossom in from two to four months from seed sown in 

 the open ground. If taken up and cut back they make fine plants 

 for the window in winter, or seed may be sown at any time in pots 

 for indoor blooming. Fully eighty per cent will come double. 

 Mixed. Pkt., 5 cts. 



White. Pkt., 6 cts.; Rose. Pkt., 6 cts.; Flaked YeUow. 

 beautiful yellow varieties, flaked with red. Pkt., 8 cts. 

 GIANT MARGUERITE CARNATION. 

 A new, large flowering, wonderfully improved strain. The blos- 

 soms are very double, with petals beautifully fringed, and under 

 proper cultivation will often measure three inches across. Mixed, 

 including the new yellow carnation. Pkt.. 8 cts. 



MARGUERITE CENTAUREA. 



A first cousin of the Bachelor's Button, but the petals that edge 

 the flowers are much Jarger, more fluted, and finely fringed, while 

 the center is very full and fluffy. The flowers are pure white, 

 about the size of a large carnation, splendid for cutting. Pkt., 4 cts. 



ELDORADO MARIGOLD. 



The Eldorado grows very rank and tall and is surmounted by 

 great golden balls, sometimes fourteen inches in circumference. 

 As many as fifty or sixty blossoms have been counted on a single 

 plant at one time. The flowers are very double, with petals quilled 

 as in the Dahlia, appearing in shades of lemon, golden or orange 

 yellow. It is by far the handsomest of all the Marigolds. Massed 

 with dark reds, suchas theFringedCockscombor Prince'sFeather 

 (Amaranthus), it makes a gorgeous display. Pkt., 3 cts. 



DWARF FRENCH MARIGOLDS. 



Those who object to the Marigold because it is coarse and strag- 

 gling will find in the dwarf varieties very compact and ornamental 

 plants. The miniature blossoms, too, in various shades of yellow 

 and bronze, make a brilliant show in the g,arden. Children enjoy 

 them because they are so easy to grow. Mixed, double and single. 

 Pkt.,3cU.

 a rich, golden yellow. Pkt.. 3 cts.
