MARGUERITE CARNATIONS. 



Dianthus Caryophyllus, fl. pi. 



A beautiful new strain of Carnations, producing in great abundance flow- 

 ers of the most brilliant hues, ranging through the various shades of white, 

 pink, red, and many variegated. The flowers are large and of fine form. A 

 valuable feature of it is, the calyx never bursts. Their beauty is not sur- 

 passed by any flowering plant ; and as a proof of their usefulness we need 

 only mention the following facts : Seedling plants begin to bloom about the 

 fourth month from the time of sowing, so that by sowing seed about the first 

 of March, many of the plants will begin flowering in June, and continue to 

 bloom in great profusion until frost comes, when they can be taken out of the 

 ground and potted, and they will give a profusion of flowers throughout the 

 winter. Furthermore, as many as 80 per cent, of seedlings may be relied upon 

 to produce double flowers, which is an unusually large proportion. The plants 

 are dwarf, compact and robust in habit.
