Chabaud’s Giant Taney, Perpetual Flowering-. 
Have been produced by Monsieur H. Chabaud, the 
famous French “ Carnationist,” whohasdone more 
to improve this class of flower than any one in the 
world, and these, his latest and best creations, sur- 
nass all the race in richness of coloring, the combi¬ 
nations of which are surprisingly beautiful and in¬ 
describable. Heretofore this grand type of Carna¬ 
tion only flowered once a year—15 to 18 months 
after sowing—but now. thanks to Monsieur Cha- 
baud’s scientific hybridization, we have Fancy Pinks, 
with all of the qualities of the old so-called Perpetual 
Carnation, floweringcontinuously after six months from 
sowing. Plants thickset and bushy, of regular height; 
stalks stiff and upright, bearing immense double blos¬ 
soms of perfect regularity, some 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. They are of 
incontestable merit for flowering in winter as well.as hardy 
enough for garden culture. Mixed Colors . Pkt. 25
