Carnation Chabaud's Enfant de Nice 



Carnation Enfant de Nice Is the result of a cross 

 between Carnation Chabaud's Giant Improved and 

 Carnation Perpetual. The plants are of robust, up- 

 right habit with long, strong stallvS bearing flowers 

 2% or 3 inches in diameter. This strain is magnificent 

 and is so far tlie last word in annual Carnations. The 

 colors come about 75% true from seed and about 90% 

 of the plants come double.

Reliable flower seeds are of the greatest importance 

 to every grower. No matter how much care is be- 

 stowed upon the crop, seeds of inferior quality can- 

 not produce first class results. We. therefore, urge 

 you to sow Dreer's Reliable Flower Seeds.
