A New Strain of Dwarf, Perpetual-Blooming Carna- tions which Flower in 3 or 4 Months from Seed. This is still the great flower-seed novelty of the times, and here is offered the prize strain of seed. While others have sold seed which produced poor and single flowers, ours has always given at least 90 per cent, of'the choicest double blossoms. The plant is of dwarf, compact and pretty habit, "branching closely above the ground, with vigorous stalks which need not be supported by sticks. It flowers abund- antly in a great variety of colors throughout the year, and the calyx never bursts. But what renders this variety far superior to any other is that the flowers appear in about three months after sowing the seed. Moreover, it produces at least 80 per cent, of double flowers, which are large and perfect. The plants grow easily everywhere, both in sandy soil or heavy loam and will give the greatest satisfaction. Indeed, they signify an improvement on all other Carna- tions, which nobody ever thought of. Think of getting Carnations in flower from seed in about four months, which last throughout the winter, and of various colors, white, pink, scarlet, purple, red, striped,mottled, flaked,variegated, etc. "We say without hesitation that it isthe most important flower-seed novelty in many years. They are alike valuable for pot-culture or for the garden. Do not sow cheap Mar- guerite Carnation seed; it will disappoint you. Per pkt. Mixed Colors—Half dwarf, the finest strain, with large double blossoms, blooming in three months from time of sowing 5 & 10 Pure White—Extra fine o & 10 Rosea—Fine clear rose color 5 & 10 Scarlet—Deep, bright shade 5 &
