These gorgeous and fragrant garden Carnations 
flower profusely summer and autumn, 
from seeds sown in the spring. 
LL lovers of Carnations have reason to be 
rat grateful for the introduction of this won- 
derfully improved strain. The flowers 
often measure three inches across, and are 
usually as double as double can be; most 
of them have beautifully fringed petals, 
and are delightfully 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. If desired, the 
plants can be potted in the au- 
tumn, and they will continue to 
bloom profusely. in the house 
through the winter, or seeds may 
be sown during the summer for 
the best winter-flowering plants.
