♦CARNATIONS 
A half-hardy, peren¬ 
nial, used generally for 
greenhouse florist’s trade 
in winter and for a gen¬ 
eral garden favorite in 
summer. There are a 
large number of varieties 
and colors, but the early 
flowering mixtures are 
recommended for out-of- 
door culture. Sow the 
seed early in the year and 
transplant in March or 
_ April. 
Chabaud Mixed—A remarkable strain raised by a 
Carnation specialist. Blooms in 6 months after being 
sown, and continues to flower indefinitely in the great¬ 
est profusion. Pkt. 15c

♦CARNATIONS 
Engleman’s—We believe that there is no better car¬ 
nation than this, over 80 per cent will be double and 
is a perpetual bloomer. Mixed, per pkt. 25c 
CARNATION 
Marguerite—This exceedingly valuable departure in 
Carnations has proved a complete success. Its most 
important feature is the fact that it flowers easily the 
first year from seed—that is, from seed sown in Febru¬ 
ary or March, plants can be had in full bloom by Aug¬ 
ust. The proportion of fine double flowers is very great, 
being usually 70 to 80 per cent; these are varied and 
beautiful in color and exceedingly useful for cutting. 
The habit of the plant is robust, and hence very useful 
for bedding purposes. Finest mixed. Pkt. 5c

Tall Cockscomb Mixed—18 to 24 in. Pkt. 10c 
Plumosa or Plumed Varieties—2% to 3 ft. These 
stately plants are considered among the most ornamen¬ 
tal, and should not be omitted in any garden. They 
generally form pyramidal bushes branching out in 
candelabra shape, and the numerous massive plumes 
which resemble ostrich feathers, wave gracefully above 
the foliage. 
Plumosa Mixed, all colors. Pkt. 5c, Va oz. 15c. 
CELOSIA 
The Chinese Woolflower (Celosia Childsii)—Plants 
grow two to three feet high, the bloom starting early 
with a central head, round and globular, which often 
reaches the immense size of two feet in circumference. 
Scores of branches are thrown out, each bearing a ball 
of scarlet wool. All these branches support numerous 
laterals with small heads of bloom mixed with fresh 
green foliage, so that a plant looks like an immense 
bouquet splendidly arranged and set in the ground. 
None of the blooms fade in any way until hit by frost; 
but all continue to expand and glow with a deepening 
richness of color, a dark crimson-scarlet. Pkt. 15c

CENTAUREA 
Double Cornflowers (Centaurea Cyanus) 
These are also known as Bachelor’s Buttons, Blue 
Bottle, Ragged Sailor, Bluet and sometimes as Ragged 
Robin, but which name belongs to one of the Lychnis 
and frequently results in confusion. It is always best 
to order by the botanical names. They are well known 
to every flower lover and always included in old- 
fashioned gardens.

CENTAUREA IMPERIALIS 
(Sweet Sultans) 
This beautiful class is undoubtedly the finest of all 
Sweet Sultans for cut-flower purposes. The charming, 
sweet-scented, artistic-shaped flowers are borne on 
long, strong stems and when cut will stand for several 
days in good condition. It is best, in this latitude, to 
sow very early in the spring, so that they may perfect 
their flowers before very hot weather comes; 2^ feet.

Deep Lavender. Rosy Lilac.

CHRYSANTHEMUM 
These outdoor “summer Chrysanthemums” are showy 
for bedding or borders in the garden and desirable for 
cut flowers. Plants become more bushy and shapely if 
pinched back in early growth and the practice of dis¬ 
budding will result in much larger flowers. These 
annuals are not the winter flowering sorts sold by 
florists and which are propagated only by division of 
roots.

CLARKIA 
One of the prettiest and showiest of hardy annuals 
that bloom freely and have flowers of such various 
bright colors that a bed of them in full bloom is a 
beautiful sight; useful for hanging baskets, vases and 
as edgings to beds of larger growing plants. Sow out¬ 
doors in early spring and grow in partial shade. The 
plants keep up a continuous bloom through midsummer 
to late autumn. Average height 1% ft.
