Carnations from Seed
Kan.
••From a packet of your Chabaud's
Giant Carnation Seed I have a bed of 50 or
more plants of the finest Carnations one ever
saw, the flowers are very large and double."
Mrs. MINNIE TAYLOR, Glen Elder,
Chabaud's Giant Fancy flowering Carnations
These creations of a French "Carnationist," surpass all the
race in richness and variety of coloring, the combinations
of which are surprisingly beautiful. Heretofore this grand
type of Carnations only flowered once a year — 15 to
18 months after sowing — but now we have Fancy
Pinks, with all of the qualities of the old Per-
petual Carnation flowering continuously after 6
months from sowing. Plants thick-set _ and
bushy; stalks stiff and upright, bearing im-
mense double blossoms of perfect regularity
some with fringed edges, some smooth,
some with rich solid colors, others tinted
and blended, and others with featherings
andpicotee markings, and all perfuming
the air with their sweetness; of incon-
testable merit for winter flowering and
hardy enough for garden culture.

A_Fæ (talk):~„.~ LONG-
mencan stemmed
flowering Carnation
America has led the world the last few
years in developing the Carnation. Our
improved kinds such as the florists grow
for cut flowers, produce immense flowers, of
perfect form and doubleness and on strong, long
stems. Then the colors are varied and beauiful.

"/ was very much satisfied with your seeds last
year. Especially the American Carnations, the flowers
of which I have never seen beaten."
E. 0. MUELLER, Friederichsiadt, So. Australia.
"I raised S3 plants of Giant Marguerite Car-
nations from one packet of your seed, nearly all
with very large, double flowers. Scarcely two
were alike and some with colors I had never seen
before in "Pinks." Am very much pleased."

These Flower Profusely Summer and Autumn from Seeds Sown in the Spring
The flowers of this wonderful strain often measure 3 inches
across, and are usually as double as double can be. The
variety of color includes white, blush, deep pink,
salmon, carmine, scarlet, dark crimson, maroon and
many beautiful variegated flowers. Most of
them have lovely fringed petals, and are de-
lightfully fragrant. One great merit of these
Carnations is that they commence to flower
in about twelve weeks' time from seed.
Seeds sown in the spring will produce
luxuriant plants that will be continually
full of bloom from August until killed
by severe frosts, or seeds may be sown
during the summer for the winter-
flowering plants.

adapted for garden planting. Seed sown in
the spring will produce large, thrifty clumps
that will stand out over winter and bloom
throughout the following summer and fall. All
colors, shades and markings are represented in
the mixture, and most of them will come double.
