FINE PERPETUAL BLOOMING CARNATIONS. 
These splendid Carnation Pinks are among the most beautiful and desirable Mowers 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 
ba aes in before hard frost, as they are not entirely hardy. The following are the finest varieties in 
vation :— ,
