68 PETER HENDERSON & CO—FLOWER SEEDS. 
New ‘‘MARGUERITE”’ CARNATIONS. 
A magnificent new class of Carnations that are without 
exception the most abundant bloomers of all the ‘‘ Pinks.” 
The flowers are of brilliant colors, ranging through many 
beautiful shades of reds, pinks, white, variegated, etc. ; 
they are of perfect form and large size, and what is of 
special value, the calyx neverbursts. They bloom in about 
four months after sowing the seeds; those sown in spring 
commence flowering in early summer, and continue to 
bloom in lavish profusion until checked by frost. They 
can be potted and taken in the house and will flower 
abundantly throughout the winter, though, if intended 
specially for winter flowering, it will be better to sow 
laterin the season. They come eighty per cent. double. 
The plants are dwarf, much branched, compact and robust 
in habit, consequently supporting themselves without 
the use of unsightly stakes. These Carnations are of 
unusual merit and destined to create a sensation. (See cut.)
