CANDYTUFT (Iberi. UmbeUaU). 



The annual Candytufts are universally known and cultivated, and considered indis- 

 pensable for cutting. All the varieties look best in beds or masses. Seed sown in 

 autumn produce flowers early in spring; when sown in April, flowers in June; suc- 

 cessive sowings should be made at intervals. Hardy and easy to grow. Single plants 

 transplanted look well and bloom profusely; 1 foot.

CARNATION. 



Carnations are general favorites for their delicious fragrance 

 and richness of colors. They are indispensable, both for green- 

 house culture in winter and for the garden in summer. The 

 Marguerite and Chabaud's type are the best for summer 

 flowering.

MARGUERITE CARNATIONS. 



These are deservedly the most popular Carnations with the 

 amateur, as they begin flowering in a few weeks from time of 

 sowing. The strain offered is of extra fine quality, producing 

 on long, strong stems an abundance of large, double, beautifully 

 fringed, highly scented flowers; with slight protection they will
