CARNATIONS 
For Your Garden 
Ideal flowers for cutting and for growing in beds and 
borders when their delicious spicy fragrance and rich colors 
make them universal favorites. All Carnations do best in 
a sweet soil, well drained and in a sunny location. 
Giant Double Sweet Scented 
A new hardy Carnation from the French specialist Chabaud that 
flowers from seed five months after sowing and continues to pro- 
duce splendid double flowers, some of solid colors, others tinted 
and blended, year after year. This is a sweet scented variety and 
a splendid addition to the list of hardy garden flowers.

Centaureas, Bachelor, Buttons and Double Cornflowers 
Bachelor Button or Cornflower (centaurea cyanus) 
improved Bachelor’s Buttons 
Known as Bachelor's Buttons, Ragged Sailor, 
Blue Bottle, etc. These hardy, easily grown 
bright flowering plants are among the most 
attractive and graceful of old-fashioned flow- 
ers, and bloom all summer. We have discarded 
the old single-flowering type, the greatly im- 
pros double-flowering kinds offered below 
eing much better in every way. 
Polar Gem Cornflower 
A recent introduction and a companion 
plant to the most popular Jubilee Gem Corn- 
flower. Very double, pure white flowers on the 
same low, compact growing plant. About 12 
inches high. We feel sure that this will be wel- 
comed by gardeners everywhere because, like its 
companion, it has so many uses and is adapt- 
able to so many situations and conditions. 
Larger, brighter colors, more double, this new 
Florist’s Super-Garden Strain is so superior to 
the old type that every gardener should insist 
on getting it. 
Black Boy. Rich deep maroon. 
Extremely large; rich deep blue. 
Very fine in the garden and as a cut flower. 
Blue Boy. 
Royal Sweet Sultan 
(Centaurea imperialis) 
This beautiful class is undoubtedly the finest 
of all Sweet Sultans for cutting purposes. The 
deliciously sweet scented flowers are borne 
on long, strong stems, and when cut will keep 
for several days in perfect condition. The plants 
grow 214 feet high, are well branched, and 
make a splendid display in the garden. Sow 
the seed early.
