CARNATIONS 



The most magnificent of all 

 the Pink family, and universal 

 favorites for their delicious 

 fragrance and richness of col- 

 ors. Seeds may be sown under 

 grass in Spring, or in open 

 ground, but must be protected 

 in Winter. Half-hardy peren- 

 nials. 

 Marguerite Carnations. 

 These splendid early-flowering Summer Carnations are 

 deservedly popular, and with good reason, as they come 

 into full bloom early in the season and continue until 

 hard frosts. Our strains are semi-dwarf, and strong 

 growers. The large double flowers are produced on long 

 stems, and range through a great variety of elegant col- 

 ors, besides being very sweet-scented. (See illustration.) 

 Our mixture is splendid. Pkt. 5c; % oz. 25c.

 those of a large single dahlia. Plants of this variety are 

 of strong, free-branching growth, generally six feet in 

 height; the dense growth of finely cut dark green foliage 

 forms a splendid setting for the starlike flowers. Owing
