MISS MARY E. MARTIN, FLORAL PARK, NEW YORK. 
A great favorite because it blooms so quick after sowing the 
seed; four months_. Flowers large, colors are bright and varied, 
with 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 New York 
market, and the seed of this variety will produce flowers in a 
short time as tine as many grown in the Green Houses, and at very 
much less cost. The plants succeed alike in the open garden 
or m pots.. Seeds sown early in the year will give an abundance 
of flowers in July. Sown in May and kept pinched back, you 
will have fine flowers late in the fall until checked by hard 
frosts._ Sown in the autumn, the flowers will be in full'bloom 
early in the spring. Thus by planting at different seasons, flow- 
ers can be had all the year around. ^

JAPANESE CHRYSANTHEMUM, 
No flower can ever 
take the place of 
this. The Fall 
months are not half 
a Fall without them. 
My seed is the 
Tokio Mixture, 
composed of all the 
best Japanese and 
Chinese kinds,and 
imported f rom 
Japan. Curious 
shapes and beautiful 
colors, including the 
famous ostrich- 
plumed sorts — 
twisted, curved, and 
bristling. Sow seed 
as late as March, 
and they bloom 
readily in October 
and November. 
These line varieties 
need a little protec¬ 
tion the first winter, 
if left in the ground.
