CHABAUD'S GIANT FANCY 



PflSwering Carnations 



THESE latest and best creations of Mons. B 

 Chabaud, the famous French "Carnation- 



ist," 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 sow- 

 ing — 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- / ^H 



set and bushy; stalks stiff and upright. 



bearing immense double blossoms of 



perfect regularity, some with fringed 



edges, some smooth, some with rich, 



solid colors, others tinted and blended, 



and others with featherings and picotee 



markings, and all perfuming the air 



with their sweetness, of incontestable 



merit for winter flowering and hardy 



enough for garden culture.

HENDERSON'S HARDY GARDEN 



Carnation Seed. 



THIS is a very fine strain, p articu larly 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.

Crozy's Gladiolus- Flowered Dwarf 



French Canna Seed. 



CROZY'S Grand Cannas are famous for their 

 luxuriant, dwarf growth and immense Gladi- 

 olus-like flowers of most brilliant colors; their pro- 

 fusion and continuity of bloom under all climes 

 and conditions, render them easily the most use- 

 ful, showy and popular garden plants grown. 

 Messrs. Crozy have never relaxed in hybridizing 

 and improving Cannas, and every year bring out 

 some new varieties of merit. We have arranged 

 with them to supply us with this superior hy- 

 bridized seed, which we herewith offer. It may 

 be expected to produce exceptionally grand and 

 beautiful sorts, and. no doubt, many new varieties. 

 This seed, sown in the house or hotbed from Janu- 

 ary to April, will produce flowering plants by July.

AMERICAN LONG-STEMMED 



P erpetual Carnation Seed. 



A MERICA has led the last few years in de- 



** veloping 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 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.

Carnation Seed. 



THESE FLOWER PROFUSELY SUMMER 

 AND AUTUMN. FROM SEEDS SOWN 



IN THE SPRING. 



HE 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, ma- 

 roon, and many beautifully variegated flowers. 

 Most of them have beautifully fringed petals, 

 and are delightfully 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 



C continually full of bloom from August until killed by 



severe frosts, or seeds may be sown during the summer for 

 the winter-flowering plants.
