Carnations from Seed 



Kan. 



••From a packet of your Chabaud's 



Giant Carnation Seed I have a bed of 50 or 



more plants of the finest Carnations one ever 



saw, the flowers are very large and double." 



Mrs. MINNIE TAYLOR, Glen Elder, 



Chabaud's Giant Fancy flowering Carnations 



These creations of a French "Carnationist," 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 Per- 

 petual Carnation flowering continuously after 6 



months from sowing. Plants thick-set _ and 



bushy; stalks stiff and upright, bearing im- 

 mense double blossoms of perfect regularity 



some with fringed edges, some smooth, 



some with rich solid colors, others tinted 



and blended, and others with featherings 



andpicotee markings, and all perfuming 



the air with their sweetness; of incon- 

 testable merit for winter flowering and 



hardy enough for garden culture.

flowering Carnation 



America has led the world the last few 

 years in developing the Carnation. Our 

 improved 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 varied and beauiful.

"/ was very much satisfied with your seeds last 

 year. Especially the American Carnations, the flowers 

 of which I have never seen beaten." 



E. 0. MUELLER, Friederichsiadt, So. Australia. 



"I raised S3 plants of Giant Marguerite Car- 

 nations from one packet of your seed, nearly all 

 with very large, double flowers. Scarcely two 

 were alike and some with colors I had never seen 

 before in "Pinks." Am very much pleased."

Carnation 



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 usually as double as double can be. The 

 variety of color includes white, blush, deep pink, 

 salmon, carmine, scarlet, dark crimson, maroon and 

 many beautiful variegated flowers. Most of 

 them have lovely fringed petals, and are de- 

 lightfully 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 produce 

 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.

This is a very fine strain, particularly 



adapted for 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.
