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 

 with 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 in the open ground, in 

 spring, will bloom the first season.

 OTEES, FINEST MIXED. White

Carnation, Mammoth Flowering Marguerite. 



Half Hardy Perennial Carnation 



MAMMOTH PLrOVVERING MARGUERITE. 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 robust 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 doors. 

 They make admirable window plants, and may be potted for this pur- 

 pose 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. The size of 

 bloom is 2 inches, or even up to 3 inches. The colors include rose, white, 

 scarlet, yellow, etc. Some are plain and some striped. All are excellent.
