Canna Seed 



THESE creations of a French "Car- 

 ■ nationist," surpass all the race in 

 richness and variety of coloring, the 

 combinations of which are surprisingly 

 beautiful. Heretofore this grand type 

 of Carnations only flowered once a year 

 — 15 to 18 months after sowing — but 

 now we have Fancy Pinks, with all of the 

 qualities of the old Perpetual Carnation, 

 flowering continuously after 6 months from 

 sowing. Plants thick-set and bushy; stalks 

 stiff and upright, bearing immense double 

 blossoms of perfect regularity, some with 

 fringed edges, some smooth, some with rich sol- 

 id colors, others tinted and blended, and others 

 with featherings and picotee markings, and all 

 perfuming the air with their sweetness, of incon- 

 testable merit for winter flowering and hardy enough 

 for garden culture.

HENDERSON'S HARDY GARDEN 



CROZY'S Grand Cannas are famous 

 for their luxuriant, dwarf growth 

 and immense Gladiolus-like flowers of 

 most brilliant colors; their profusion and 

 continuity of bloom under all cUmesand 

 conditions', render them easily the most 

 useful, showy and popular garden plants 

 grown. Messrs. Crozy have never relaxed 

 in hybridizing and improving Cannas, 

 and every year bring out some new varie- 

 ties of merit. We have arranged with them 

 to supply us with this superior hybridized 

 seed, which we herewith offer. It may be ex- 

 pected to produce exceptionally grand and 

 beautiful sorts, and, no doubt, many new varie- 

 ties. This seed, sown in the house or hotbedfrom 

 Jan. to April, will produce flowering plants by July.

Carnation Seed 



THIS is a very fine strain, particularly adapted to garden 

 planting. Seed sown in the spring will produce large, 

 thrifty clumps that will stand out over winter and bloom 

 throughout the following summer and fall. All colors, shades 

 and markings are represented in the mixture, and most of 

 them will come double.

AMERICAN LONG-STEMMED PERPETUAL 



Carnation Seed 



A MERICA has led the last few years in developing the Carnation. Our im- 

 •^ proved kinds such as the florists grow for cut flowers, produce immense flowers 

 of perfect form and doubleness and on strong, long stems. Then the colors are so 

 varied and beautiful. Is it to be wondered at that they are the envy of the 

 floral world ? 



Unfortunately they are shy seeders so we are fortunate indeed to be able to 

 offer this season a limited quantity of seed.

GIANT-FLOWERING Marguerite Carnation Seed 



These Flower Profusely Summer and Autumn from Seeds Sown in the Spring. 



THE flowers of this wonderful strain often measure 3 inches across, and are usual- 

 ly as double as double can be. The variety of color includes white, blush, 

 deep pink, salmon, carmine, scarlet, dark crimson, maroon, and many beautifully 

 variegated flowers. Most of them have beautifully fringed petals, and are delight- 

 fully fragrant. One great merit of_ these Carnations is that they commence to 

 flower in about twelve weeks' time from seed. Seeds sown in the spring will pro- 

 duce 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.
