CARNATIONS 



Hardy Perennial 



The so-called carnations have 

 within recent decades developed 

 into types of rare beauty and fra- 

 grance. The Marguerite carnations 

 are among the best of the class. The 

 Plcotees are carnations with white 

 flowers, trimmed, spotted or edged 

 witii some other color. Most of the 

 carnations are quite hardy, surviv- 

 ing the winter If given a slight pro- 

 tection. JSo flowers are more lovely. 

 Seeds sown thinly In tlie open 

 ground, in spring, will bloom the 

 flrst season.

 OTEES, FINEST MIXED. White 

 edged with colors, o\- spotted and 

 splashed. Packet, 10 cents. 



1193 CHABAUD'S PERPET- 

 UAL EARLY FLOW^ERING. 

 This charming carnation may be 

 classed and treated as an annual. It 

 resembles the Marguerite carnation 

 in exquisite beauty and in early 

 blooming habit, but Is perpetual 

 growing or perennial. Large flow- 

 ers. All colors mixed. Packet, 15 cents; ii packets 



Carnation, Mammoth Flowering Marguerite. 



Half Hardy Perennial Carnation 



MAMMOTH FLOWERING MARGUERITE. I regard these glor 

 lous flowers as the best of all the po-called pinks, especially for the 

 open garden. The Marguerite carnation is ready to bloom In a few 

 weeks from the sowing of the seed, and is the most profuse bloomer of 

 the whole group of pinks. The plants are of con^pact and robust 

 growth, but of dwarf habit. They are easily managed, and make the 

 best of bedding plants. They may be treated as annuals, or wintered 

 (under some protection) in the open air. They make admirable win- 

 dow plants, and may be potted for this purpose in the autumn. The 

 best plan, perhaps, is to sow fresh seed every spring, so as always to 

 have vigorous young plants for summer, autumn and winter blooming. 

 The flowers are extremely fragrant. The size of bloom is 2 inches, or 

 even up to 3 inches. The colors include rose, white, scarlet, yellow, etc. 

 Some are plain and some striped. All are excellent. 



1194 Rose. Packet, 10 cents. 1195 White. Packet, 10 cents. 



1196 Scarlet. Packet, 10 cents. 11B7 Yellow, Packet, 10 cents. 



1198 Finest Mixed. All the above in a grand mixture. 



Packet, 10 cents; '^ ounce, 40 cents; ounce, S1.25. 



CASTOR OIL BEAN 



See Ricinus. 



CATCHFLY 



Hardy Annual 



An easy growing, free flowering, annual plant, producing dense 

 umbels of white, red or rose colored blossoms. The plant is partly 

 covered with a glutinous molsti.re, hence the name "catchfly." An old 

 favorite much improved. Suitable for rock work or open borders. 



1202 MIXED. A grand mixture. Packet, 5 cents.
