New Carnation, 



Giants of Nice 



No. 655. A new giant 

 strain of perpetual carna- 

 tions, introduced by a cele- 

 brated French specialist. 

 It is unquestionably the 

 finest of the perpetual 

 class, attaining an im- 

 mense size and beginning 

 to bloom almost as early 

 as the Carnation Margue- 

 rite, and producing nearly 

 100 per cent, double flow- 

 ers, with a large percent- 

 age of yellows. They are 

 profuse bloomers, deli- 

 ciously fragrant and con- 

 tain a magnificent variety 

 of colors and markings. 

 As the flowers last a long 

 time after being cut, they 

 will be found equally valu- 

 able to the florist and pri- 

 vate gardener for open 

 ground or pot culture.
