CARNATIONS 
Annual fYi ft 
2290— New Giant Double Chabaud. Mixed 
Colors. The most satisfactory of the annual 
Carnations for the outdoor gardens. They are 
larger, more free flowering and with a larger 
percentage of double flowers than the other 
kinds. Their delicious fragrance and rich color¬ 
ing make them even more desirable. Flowers 
in late summer, but if planted in a protected 
location they will usually survive the first 
winter and flower profusely the following 
summer. Pkt. 15c; Lg. Pkt. 30c; Oz. $1.00.
