EVER-BLOOMING CARNATION PINKS 



FOR beauty of flower and color, ease of culture, certainty and freedom of bloom, together with exquisite fra- 

 grance, this is well called the "Divine Flower." Plants in the open ground or in pots quickly make large 

 specimens, and when brought indoors in the Fall, produce an abundance of flowers throughout the entire 

 Winter. Carnation blooms are expensive. Don't buy them— grow them yourself. Pinch the plants back frequently 

 during the growing season. In the Fall bring indoors, place in a 4 or 5-inch pot, keep in a temperature of 40 to 

 50 degrees at night, and they will yield an immense number of flowers with splendid stems, as fine as those sold 

 by florists. If not pinched in they will bloom profusely during the Summer. We offer the finest varieties 

 in existence. There are none better. Remember that every plant we send out is true to name, and genuine. 

 In price we easily beat all competition. Your order is incomplete without some Carnations.
