MARGUERITE CARNATIONS, 

 Dianthus Caryophylius, fl. pi. 



A beautiful new strain of Carnations, producing in great abundance flow- 

 ers of the most brilliant hues, ranging through the various shades of white 

 pink, red, and many variegated. The flowers are large and of fine form. A 

 valuable feature of it is, the calyx never bursts. Their beauty is not surpassed 

 by any flowering plant; and as a proof of their usefulness we need only men- 

 tion the following facts: Seeding jilants begin to bloom about the fom'th 

 month from the time of sowing, so that by sowing seed about the first of 

 March, many of the plants will begin flowering in Jime, and continue to bloom 

 in great profusion until frost comes, when they can be taken out of the ground 

 and potted, and they will give a profusion of flowers throughout the winter. 

 Furthermore, as many as 80 per cent, of seedings maybe relied upon to produce 

 double flowers, which is an unusually large proportion. The plants are dwarf, 

 compact and robust in habit. Per pkt 10
