MARGUERITE 

 CARNATION. 



Many beautiful varieties 

 of Carnations may be ob- 

 tained trom seed. equalling 

 the greenhouse-grown blooms in full- 

 ness and fragrance. These new fa- 

 vorites are a great advance over the 

 old varieties, as they will be in blos- 

 som in from two to four months from 

 seed sown in the open ground. The 

 flowers appear in many shades of red, 

 pink, white and variegated, and are 

 exceedingly fragrant. If taken up 

 and cut back they make fine plants 

 for the window in winter, or seed may 

 be sown at any time in pots for indoor 

 blooming. Some will come single, 

 but even these are pretty. Fully 80 

 per cent will come double. Many ex- 

 press satisfaction regarding my "Car- 

 nation seed. Finest mixed. Pkt.. 5e.

MARGUERITE CENTAUREA. 



Although of recent introduction, this is now one of 

 the "must haves." It is a first cousin of the Bachelor's 

 Button, but reallv looks very little like it. the petals 

 that edge the flower being much larger, more fluted 

 and finelv fringed and of a fine, satiny appearance, 

 while the center is verv fluff v and full. The flowers are 

 about the size of a larsre Carnation, grow on long, 

 slender stems and are splendid for cutting. Easy of 

 cultivation, blooming in Julv from seed sown in the 

 open ground. Colors: pure white, pale yellow or lav- 

 ender. Twelve to eighteen inches. Mixed. Pkt.. 4o.
