Carnation Chabaud 
CARNATIONS 
Years ago the Carnation was considered a perennial suitable 
only for greenhouse culture, but the hybrids developed since 
then have proven not only hardy in the garden but if started 
early will bloom freely first season. The so-called Margaret race 
of Carnations was the first of these seedling plants, not only 
blooming in six months but producing elegant large double firs, 
in rich and varied colors; showy in beds and fine for cutting. 
They also do well in greenhouse or conservatory, grown in pots. 
A later race known as Chabaud Carnation is thought by some 
to be preferable, the plants being more vigorous, the firs, larger, 
more varied in color, and the bloom more free and continuous. 
The plants are hardy in beds and when grown in pots are fine 
for the window.
