(New.) ^This new Carnation was raised by Mr. Cha- baud, the foremost Carnation grower of Europe. It is the most valuable of his intro- ductions, and this alone is a sufficient guaran- tee of its excellence to all who are familiar with the work of this distinguished specialist. The plant grows from 16 to 20 inches high, is closely branched,and carries its blooms well. The straight, vertical flower-stems are covered with large, handsome, very double flowers in every variety of color. It will be found invaluable for florists. It blooms in about seven months after being sown, and continues to flower in the greatest profusion indefinitely. It possesses all the good qualities of the best Tree Carnations, together with the earliness of the Margaret Carnation, and produces double flowers at the rate of 80 to 100 per cent. In view of its earliness, hardiness, robust growth, perfect bearing, variety of color of the flowers, and the long con- tinued time in which the) are produced, it is likely to super- sede all varieties hitherto grown. The seed we offer was saved exclusively in the Garden of Carnations of Provence, by Mr. Chabaud himself. It may be sown either in autumn or early spring. Per pkt., 50 cts.
