Carnation Seed. 
These gorgeous and fragrant garden Carnations 
flower profusely summer and autumn, from 
seeds sown in the 4 T rir *f r ^ 
T HE flowers of this wonderful strain often measure 3 inches 
across, and are usually as double as double can be. The 
variety of color includes white, blush, deep pink, salmon, 
carmine, scarlet, dark crimson, maroon, and many beauti¬ 
fully variegated flowers. Most of them have beautifully fring¬ 
ed petals', and are delightfully 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 lull of 
bloom from August until killed by severe frosts, or seeds may 
be sown during the summer for the winter-flowering plants.

Chabaud’s Giant Fancy 
Perpetual-Flowering Carnations 
T HESE latest and best creations of Mons. B. Chabaud, 
the famous 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 Perpetual Carnation, flowering 
continuously after (> months from sowing. Plants thick¬ 
set and bushy; stalks stiff and upright, bearing immense 
double blossoms of perfect regularity, soine with fringed 
edges, some smooth, some with rich, solid colors, others 
tinted and blended, and others with featherings and picotee 
markings, and all perfuming the air with their sweetness, 
of incontestable merit for winter flowering and hardy enough 
for garden culture. (See cut.)
