THE DINGEE & CONARD COMPANY'S 



New Dwarf Double Carnation, 

 Marguerite. 



CARNATION MARGUERITE, or, as some call 

 it, Carnation Margaret, came prominently before 

 the flower public three seasons ago for the first 

 time, and made a marked impression both in this 

 country and Europe. This truly royal Novelty origi- 

 nated in sunny Italy, and was so remarkably attractive 

 that it was named after the lovely Queen Marguerite of 

 Italy. The principal points of value combined in this- 

 new Floral Wonder may be summed up as follows : 

 First. It grows as readily from seed as a China Pink, 

 and is in full bloom twelve to sixteen weeks after sow- 

 ing the seed. Second. The plants grow subject to the 

 most ordinary conditions and cultivation, and succeed 

 alike in flower beds or pots. Third. The habit of the 

 plant is so vigorous that no supports are required. 

 Fourth. The flowers are produced continuously and in 

 great profusion throughout a long season and are ex- 

 tremely fragrant; the range of colors is marvelous and 

 includes yellow; full 90 per cent, of the flowers are 

 double, of splendid substance, and the calyx does not 

 burst, as is often the case with the best varieties of Carnations grown from cuttings. Fifth. From the packet of seed we send 

 out can be raised a fine collection of the choicest varieties, fine strong plants. The surpassing mixture of seed of Marguerite 

 Carnation we offer is fresh, and was received by us direct from original sources; we make the price very low, and hope every- 

 one who receives Our New Guide will send for at least one packet. Per pkt., 10 cts.; 3 pkts. for 25 cts.; 6 pkts. for 50 cts.; 

 14 pkts. for $i.
