FINE SB8SS3*- CARNATIONS 



Note — These splendid Carnation Pinks are among the most beautiful and desirable flowers we have, 

 highly valued for their constant bloom and delicate fragrance; they flower freely during the Summer and 

 Fall in the garden, and if taken indoors and kept in a cool, light room, will produce an abundance of lovely 

 flowers all Winter. It is best to keep the buds picked off those intended for Winter bloom, and they should 

 be taken in before hard frost, as they are not entirely hardy. The following are some of the finest varieties 

 in cultivation.

 ness that he always was willing to pay a higher price for in- 

 formation than his less successful competitors. If you wish 

 to succeed with Carnations or Chrysanthemums and need
