MISS MARY E. MARTIN, FLORAL PARK, NEW YORK. 



A great favorite because it blooms so quick after sowing the 

 seed; four months, riowers large, colors are bright and varied, 

 trith that delicious, refreshing clove fragrance that 

 makes all Carnations so much loved. Colors are dazzling red, 

 soft pink, white, mottled and variegated. Carnations 

 are now one of the most sought for flowers in the > ew York 

 market, and the seed of this variety will produce flowers in a 

 short time as fine as many grown in the Green Houses, and at very 

 much l^s cost The plants succeed alike in the open garden 

 or in pots. Seeds sown early in the year will give an abundance 

 of flowers in July. Sown in May and kept pinched back, you 

 vrUl have fine flowers late in the fall until checked by bard 

 frosts. Sown in the autumn, the flowers will be in full bloom 

 early in the spring. Thus by planting at difierent seasons, flow- 

 ers can be had all the year around.

HEW DWARF tWARGARET CARNATIOW. 



Like its parent, the 2-Iargaret, this Camarion blooms in 

 four months from sowing, but is as much in advance of 

 the type as the new French Cannas are ahead of the old "Indian 

 Shot." The flowers are larger, more double and the variety of 

 coloi^ is infinitely greater. The plants grow about 1-5 inches 

 high, flowers always erect. If taken up in the Fall the plants 

 bloom all winter. "Pkt., 100 seeds, 8c., 4 pkts. for 25c.

NEW GIANT FLOWERED FANCY DIANTHUS . 



"Oriental Beauties." 



A magniflcent strain of Giant Flowered Dianthus, 

 originallv from Japan, but enlargred and improved by 

 three seasons m California. These splendid flowers 

 measure from 2 to SJ^ inches across, with petals fre- 

 quentlv measuring 1^4 inches in diameter. They are 

 most e'squisitelv formed, the petals being full, overlap- 

 ping, crinkled and lacinated. The flowers possess that 

 peculiar and artistic charm so noticeable in all plants 

 from the Flowery Kingdom. They range in color from 

 pure white, through sbades of pink and crimson, many 

 strikingly marked and variegated: the coloring and 

 marktn?"is rich beyond description; nothing could be 

 more daintv and pretty than their charming ruffles and 

 frills. Every one is delighted with them. They are per- 

 fectly hardy, are perpetual bloomers, needing only to be 

 cut back every few weeks to bring on a new crop of 

 flowers. Plrt.,100 seeds, 8c.
