CARNATION Hone 
Giant Flowering (Annual) 
These creations of a French ‘‘Carnationist’’ surpass all the race in richness and 
variety of coloring, and are surprisingly beautiful. Now we have varieties flowering 
continuously after six monthsfrom sowing. Plants upright, bearing double blossoms, 
all perfuming the air with their sweetness. 
Seed should be sown in the spring in the greenhouse, hot-bed or light window of 
dwelling house, in shallow boxes (2 inches deep) of light soil, where the temperature 
will average 60 deg. When the seedlings are 2 inches high, plant them in the open 
ground, where they will form flowering clumps for the fall and winter.
