"We had a birthday in the club last 

 week. June 2 Mayor Broening was 

 50 years of age. Our president, W. 

 F, Ekas, who is always on the alert to 

 * ' Say It with Flowers, ' ' had a bunch of 

 fifty American Beauties on the mayor 's 

 desk, with the club's card attached, 

 when he arrived at the city hall.

SEED FOB HABDY PERENNIALS. 



I am anxious to procure seed for some 

 good hardy perennial carnations or pinks 



which can be planted in the field and 

 will bloom from May on. I have read 

 of Dianthus Her Majesty and Perpetual 

 Snow in white, but have not been able 

 to find the seed listed in a catalogue. 

 I should like to have a good white, a 

 good pink and a good red one. Can you 

 give me the cultural directions and refer 

 me to someone who can furnish the seed? 



W. S. C— Ore. 



I do not know of anyone listing seeds 

 of the carnations or hardy pinks you 

 refer to. Consulting a number of seed 

 lists, I can only find mixed hardy carna- 

 tion seeds offered and think that it will 

 be necessary for you to procure the 

 plants of the varieties Her Majesty, 



Perpetual Snow, Napoleon III, crimson, 

 and others of this type. Propagation is 

 usually either by cuttings or layers. 

 The various forms of Dianthus pluma- 

 rius, spice, or hardy border pink, are pro- 

 curable from seeds, but come more easily 

 from layers. Tn your latitude the race 

 of hardy carnations which thrive so 

 well in Great Britain would do well. 

 These come in about every color but 

 blue and the double flowers in nearly 

 all cases have a delicious clove scent. 

 Unfortunately, these cannot be imported 

 now, as the Federal Horticultural Board 

 fears that they may bring in some 

 dangerous enemy alien insect pests.
