Carnation 
Chabaud’s Giant Fancy Perpetual-Flowering 
. These creations of a French‘ Carnationist’’ surpassall the race in richness and 
variety of coloring, and|are surprisingly beautiful. Now we have Fancy Pinks 
with all the qualities of the old Perpetual Carnation, flowering continuously 
after six months from sowing. Plants thick-set and bushy; stalks stiff and up- 
iene, bearing immense double blossoms of perfect regularity, some with fringed 
edges, some with smooth, some with rich solid colors, others tinted and blended, 
others with featherings and picotee markings, all perfuming the air with their 
sweetness; of incontestable merit for. winter flowering and hardy enough for 
garden culture.

Carnation, Marguerite, Giant Flowering 
These Hower profusely in summer and autumn from seed sown in the spring. 
The flowers of this wonderful strain often measure 3 inches across, and are 
usually as double as double can be. The variety of colors includes white, 
blush, deep pink, salmon, carmine, scarlet, dark crimson, maroon and many 
beautiful variégated flowers. Most of them have lovely fringed petals and are 
delightfully fragrant. One great merit of these Carnations is that they com- 
mence to flower in about twelve week’s time from seed. Seed sown in the 
spring will produce luxuriant plants that will be continuously full of bloom 
from August until killed’ by severe frosts, or seeds may be sown during the 
Summer for the winter-flowering plants. (See illustration.)
