CARNATIONS 



Hardy Perennial 



The so-called carnations have 

 within recent decades developed 

 into types of rare beauty and fra- 

 grance. The Marguerite carnations 

 are among the best of the class. The 

 Picotees are carnations with white 

 flowers, trimmed, spotted or edged 

 wit.i some other color. Most of the 

 carnations are quite hardy, surviv- 

 ing the winter if given a slight pro- 

 tection. No flowers are more lovely. 

 Seeds sown thinly in the open 

 ground. In spring, will bloom the 

 flrst season.

Carnation, Mammoth Flowering Marguerite. 



Half Hardy Perennial Carnation 



MAMMOTH FLO"iVEUING MARGUERITE. 1 regard these glor- 

 ious flowers as Ihe best of all the so-called pinks, es| ecially for the 

 open garden. The Marguerite carnation is ready to bloom In a few 

 weeks from the sowing of the seed, and is the most profuse bloomer of 

 the whole group of pinks. The plants are of compact and lobust 

 growth, but of dwarf habit. They are easily grown, and make the 

 best of bedding plants. They may be treated as annuals, or wintered 

 with slight protection out of dcbrs. They make admirable window 

 plants, and may be potted for this purpose in the autumn. The 

 best plan, perhaps, is to sow fresh seed every spring, so as always to 

 have vigorous young plants for summer, autumn and winter blooming. 

 The flowers are extremely fragrant. Ttie size of bloom is 2 inches, or 

 even up to .S inches. The colors include rose, white, scarlet, yellow, etc. 

 Some are plain and some strlpfd. All are excellent.
