 of perpetual Carnations, introduced b)' a celebrated French 

 specialist. It is unquestionably the finest of the perpetual 

 class, attaining an immense size and beginning to bloom al- 

 most as early as the Carnation Marguerite, and producing 

 nearly 100 per cent double flowers with a large percentage of 

 jellows. They are profuse 

 bloomers, deliciously fragrant 

 and contain a magnificent varie- 

 ty of colors and markings. As

 being cut, they will be found 

 equally valuable to the florist 

 and private gardener for open
