Carnation 
Chabaud’s Giant Fancy Perpetual-Flowering 
These creations of a French ‘‘Carnationist’’ surpass all the race in richness and 
variety of coloring, and are surprisingly beautiful. Now we have Fancy Pinks with 
all the qualities of the old Perpetual Carnation, flowering continuously after six 
months from sowing. Plants thick-set and bushy; stalks stiff and upright, bear- 
ing immense double blossoms of perfect regularity, some with fringed edges, some 
with smooth, some with rich solid colors, others tinted and blended, others with 
featherings and picotee markings, all perfuming the air with their sweetness; of 
incontestable merit for winter flowering and hardy enough for garden culture.

Carnation, Marguerite, Giant Flowering 
These flower profusely in summer and autumn from seed sown in the spring. 
The flowers of this wonderful strain often measure 3 inches across, and are usually 
as double as double can be. The variety of colors includes white, blush, deep 
pink, salmon, carmine, scarlet, dark crimson, maroon and many beautiful varie- 
gated flowers. Most of them have lovely fringed petals and are delightfully fra- 
grant. One great merit of these Carnations is that they commence to flower in 
about twelve weeks’ time from seed. Seed sown in the spring will produce luxuriant 
lants that will be continuously full of bloom from August until killed by severe 
- frosts, or seeds may be sown during the summer for the winter-flowering plants.
