CARNATION SEED 



It is very interesting to grow 

 Carnations from seed. The Mar- 

 guerite Carnations are especially 

 adapted for outdoor culture, 

 growing them as annuals from 

 seed sown in the spring. The 

 plants begin to bloom in about 

 four months. When well started 

 the young plants should be trans- 

 planted to stand twelve inches 

 apart. They are quite hardy, 

 flowering the first season until 

 late in the fall, and will live out 

 all winter if given the protection 

 of a mulch of long, strawy ma- 

 nure. 



GIANT MARGUERITE. 



Without exception, these are 

 the most abundant bloomers 

 of all the Carnation Pinks. 

 The flowers are of brilliant col- 

 ors, ranging through many 

 beautiful shades of red, pink, 

 white, variegated, etc. ; they 

 are of perfect form and large 

 size. Those sown in spring 

 commence flowering in early 

 summer, and continue to bloom 

 in lavish profusion until 

 checked by frost. Pkt. 10 cts.,

New Carnation, GIANTS OF NICE. A new giant strain 

 of perpetual Carnations, introduced by a celebrated French 

 specialist. It is unquestionably the finest of the perpetual 

 class, attaining an immense size 

 and beginning to bloom almost 

 as early as the Carnation Mar- 

 guerite, and producing nearly 

 100 per cent double flowers with 

 a large percentage of yellows. 

 They are profuse bloomers, de- 

 liciously fragrant, and contain a 

 magnificent variety of colors and 

 markings. As the flowers last a 

 long time after being cut, they 

 will be found equally valuable to 

 the florist and private gardener 

 for open ground or pot culture. .
