CARNATION 



Carnations are general favorites for their delicious fragrance and 

 richness of colors. They are indispensable, both for greenhouse cul-

 Chabaud type are the best for summer flowering. - pgj, p,£p

MARGUERITE CARNATIONS 



These are deservedly the most popular Carnations with the ama- 

 teur, as they begin flowering in a few weeks from time of sowing. 

 The strain ofTered 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 survive an ordinary 

 winter and bloom freely the following spring.
