Marguerite Carnation. 



MARGUERITE CARNATIONS. 



This npw class of fragrant Marguerite Carna- 

 tions will bloom ia about four months after 

 sowing^ the setd. The flowers are of brilliant 

 colors, ranging through many beautiful shades 

 of reds, pinks, white, variegated, etc., exquisitely 

 sweet and fully 80 per cent, perfectly double. 

 The plants succeed alike in the open garden or 

 In pots. Sef'ds sown early in the year will give 

 an abundance of flowers in July. Sown in May 

 and kept pinched back, you will have fine 

 flowers late in the fall until checked by hard 

 frosts. Sown in the autumn, the flowers will be 

 In full bloom early in the spring. Thus, by 

 planting at different seasons flowers can be had 

 all the year around. Pkt., 50 seeds, 6 cents. 



Mrs. D. G. Edwards. 206 Point St., Providence. R. I., 

 March, 1895. writes:— I nave used your seeds ever since you 

 began to sell them, and they are always good. 



Indispensable plants for 

 both pot culture in the 

 greenhouse, window garden 

 and open ground culture in 

 summer; of innumerable 

 colors and delicious per- 

 fume. The plants may be 

 set in the open grnund dur- 

 ing the summer, where t hey 

 will flower as profusely as 

 when grown in pnts in the 

 house. Half hardy peren- 

 nials.

Mrs. Ellen Zimmerman, 391 

 Fairview St., Pottsville. Pa., Mch. 

 28, 1895, writes: Your seeds of last 

 year turned out to be a great suc- 

 cess, both in germination and 

 flowering. The Carnations 

 flowered all winter, and at pres- 

 ent has 16 buds, 9 of which are 

 open. 



Mrs. H. P. Degler, South Su- 

 perior, Wis., writes: I have used 

 your seeds for two years and had 

 splendid success. My Primroses 

 are in blossom from seeds sown 

 this spring, and my Cineraria will 

 blossom soon. 



Ccntaurca Alarguerite. 



NEW CENTAUREA MARGUERITE. 



One of the most valuable introductions of late 

 years. The flowers are the size of a medium 

 Carnation, freely produced on long stems, which 

 renders them valuable for cutting; color pure 

 white, pale sulphur yellow and lavender. The 

 flowers are sweet scented, and their lasting 

 quality after bring cut is remarkable. The 

 plants grow about 18 inches high and are of the 

 easiest culture; from spring sown seed they 

 commence to flower in July and continue until 

 late in the autumn. This novelty is entirely dis- 

 tinct from all otherCentaureas and undoubtedly 

 the most beautiful variety known. Pkt., 30 

 seeds, 6 cents. 



Mrs. G. H. Norris. Woodcock. Pa., March 28, '95, write«: 

 I have been very much jileased with the flower seeds re- 

 ceived from you. My Cinerarias are in full bloom now 

 and very beautiful.
