CARNATIONS. 
663. New Marguerite Car- 
nations. A carnation that 
bloonis the first year from seed. 
These new carnations are des- 
tined to create a great sensa- 
tion among florists and the gar- 
dening public at large, owing 
to their remarkable qualities 
and their advantages over the 
old varieties. The flowers are of 
brilliant colors, ranging through 
many beautiful shades of reds, 
pinks, white, variegations, etc.; 
they are perfect form and large 
size, and what is of special value, 
the calyx never bursts. They 
bloom in about four months after 
sowing 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 
later in the season. They come 
eighty per cent. double. These 
carnations are novelties of unus- 
ual merit and destined to create a 
sensation. (See Cut.) Pkt., lic.
