CARNATION 



Sown under glass in early Spring, or later in the open ground, the plants will 

 flower second Summer. For largest, richest flowers we recommend their culture in 

 pots of rich soil. They are also garden favorites, and grown in this way flowers of 

 good quality may be had in Summer if given plenty of water, good soil and a mulch 

 about their roots. With tall varieties staking and tying is also necessary. Pkt.
