CARNATION (Dianthus Caryophyllus) [hA] Few flowers surpass in 

 beauty of form or delicious fragrance the richly hued Carnation. 

 Double flowers spicily scented are produced on blue-green stems 

 that are stiff but slender. Carnation is really a tender perennial, 

 but it is best to treat it as an annual and plant new seeds each year. 



Chabaud Giant [18 in.] This variety blooms six months after seed- 

 ing and continues throughout the summer. Handsome, double, 

 clove-scented flowers of extra large size. This type should not be 

 confused with the old, small-flowered Chabaud.

Enfant de Nice Mixed [20 in.] Slightly larger flowered, longer 

 stemmed and a little more spreading than Chabaud Giant, but 

 otherwise similar to it Pkt. 15c 



Marguerite [20 in.] This well-known variety blooms five months 

 after the seeds are planted. The vigorous plants bear deeply 

 fiinged sweet-scented flowers in a choice assortment of rich colors.

C.\STOR Bean (See Ricinus) 



CANNA [tP-3 ft.] There is fine dignity in this stately plant. Each 

 stalk produces broad leaves of green or bronze, topped by a cluster 

 of large flowers of varied and vivid colors. Usually they are started 

 from roots, but they can easily be grown from seed. The seeds, 

 however, are very hard and should be notched or filed and soaked 

 before planting.

CARDINAL CLIMBER (Ipomoea Quamoclit Hybrida) [hA-C-15 ft.] 

 This rapidly growing climber attains quite a height during the sea- 

 son if planted in rich soil in a warm sunny place. The flowers, 

 growing in clusters, are tubular and expand into star-shaped rims. 

 Their color is an intense fiery red which shows off to advantage 

 against the feathery green of the leaves J^ oz. 40c; pkt. 10c 



Cardiospermum (See Balloon Vine) 



CELOSIA (Cockscomb) [hA] An odd and picturesque class of plants 

 having colored foliage and innumerable small flowers and seed ves- 

 sels which form a brilliant colored mass. The vivid blossoms are 

 sometimes gracefully arranged like plumes and in other types form 

 dense clusters corrugated and frilled at the edges like cocks' combs. 

 They retain their brilliant coloring from midsummer until frost. 



Dwarf Crested (Cristata) [10 in.] This little plant is almost over- 

 powered by the large ruffled velvety crest that rises above it on a 

 central stem. This variety gives Celosia the name "Cockscomb."' 



Empress Large crimson combs, rich bronze foliage. 



Rose Fine rose colored crests.

 odd blossom heads.

 ered with large blue flowers. Splendid for edging borders and for 

 cutting Pkt. 25c 



Imperialis (Sweet Sultan) [hA-2 3^ ft.] Flowers with deeply I
