Carnations from Seed 
“From a packet of your Chabaud's 
Giant Carnation Seed I have a bed of 50 or 
more plants of the finest Carnations one ever 
saw, the flowers are very large and double."

Chabaud's Giant Fancy FLOWERING Carnations 
"I raised S3 plants of Giant Marguerite Car¬ 
nations from one packet of your seed, nearly all 
with very large, double flowers. Scarcely two 
were alike and some with colors I had never seen 
before in "Pinks.” Am very much pleased."

GIANT' 
FLOWERING 
Carnation 
These creations of a French “Carnationist,” surpass all the 
race in richness and variety of coloring, the combinations 
of which are surprisingly beautiful. Heretofore this grand 
type of Carnations only flowered once a year — 15 to 
18 months after sowing — but now we have Fancy 
Pinks, with all of the qualities of the old Per¬ 
petual Carnation flowering continuously after 6 
months from sowing. Plants thick-set and 
bushy; stalks stiff and upright, bearing im¬ 
mense double blossoms of perfect regularity, 
some with fringed edges, some smooth, 
some with rich solid colors, others tinted 
and blended, and others with featherings 
andpicotee markings, and all perfuming 
the air with their sweetness; of incon¬ 
testable merit for winter flowering and 
hardy enough for garden culture.

Carnation 
America has led the world the last few 
years in developing the Carnation. Our 
improved kinds such as the florists grow 
for cut flowers, produce immense flowers, of 
perfect form and doubleness and on strong, long 
stems. Then the colors are varied and beauiful.

These Flower Profusely Summer and Autumn from Seeds Sown in the Spring 
The flowers of this wonderful strain often measure 3 inches 
across, and arc usually as double as double can be. The 
variety of color includes white, blush, deep pink, 
salmon, carmine, scarlet, dark crimson, maroon and 
many beautiful variegated flowers. Most of 
them have lovely fringed petals, and arc de¬ 
lightfully fragrant. One great merit of these 
Carnations is that they commence to flower 
in about twelve weeks’ time from seed. 
Seeds sown in the spring will produce 
luxuriant plants that will be continually 
full of bloom from August until killed 
by severe frosts, or seeds may be sown 
during the summer for the winter- 
flowering plants.

the mixture, and most of them will come double.
