Giant Flowering Marguerite 



CARNATION SEED. 



The flowers of this wonderful strain often 

 measure 3 inches across, and are usually as 

 double as double can be. The variety of color 

 includes white, blush, deep pink, salmon, car- 

 mine, Scarlet, dark crimson, maroon, and 

 many beautifully variegated flowers. 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, or 

 seeds may be sown during the summer for the 

 winter-flowering plants.

 Pink"
