NEW DWARF Ml&RGLJERITE CARNATION 



This new race of Carnations has created 

 quite a sensation among florists on both sides 

 of the Atlantic, not only on account uf their 

 beautiful flowers of all colors, and of the re- 

 markable percentage that come "doubles," 

 but also from the fact that, uulike all others 

 they bloom in about four months from the time of 

 sowing the seed, and continue to flower until 

 checked by frost. The most beautiful fragrant 

 double Carnations can now be had in full 

 flower in the open garden as easily and almost 

 as quickly as the Chinese Pinks! Also for 

 flowering in the house this new strain will be 

 invaluable. Fully eighty per cent of the 

 flowers come double, of large size. They em- 

 brace a fine range of brilliant colors. The 

 plants aredwarf, branching, compact and neat 

 in habit, standing well upright without any 

 support. They are very free-flowering, and 

 certainly a novelty of unusual merit.

CROZY'S NEW DWARF 



CANNAS. 



A new class of large-flowering Cannas, intro- 

 duced by Monsieur Crozy, a successful grower 

 and improver of these magnificent plants. The- 

 foliage is luxuriant and varied in color and the 

 plants dwarf in habit, averaging not over three 

 to four feet in height. Their great merit, how.— 

 ever, lies in the large size and dazzling and bril- 

 liant hues of the flowers, ranging through all! 

 hues of yellow and orange to the richest crimson, 

 scarlet and vermillion; some are also beautifully 

 spotted. They are equally valuable for -groups- 

 solitary plants and for house decorations. It is 

 impossible to say enough in praise of the exceed- 

 ing beauty of these Cannas. If the seed, 'which 

 should be soaked for twelve hours in warm water, 

 is sown early in a hot-bed and transplanted into 

 not too rich soil, the plants will bloom from July or 

 August until cut down by severe frost. The roots 

 can be wintered in a dry cellar like Dahlias, or 

 may be potted and kept in bloom the sreater part 

 of the winter.
