HIARGUERITE CARNATIONS 



These are deservedly the most popular Carnations with the ama- 

 teur, as ihey 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- 

 scenled flowers; with slight protection they will survive an ordinary- 

 winter and bloom freely the following spring. ,
