Carnations 



GIANT MARGUERITE CARNATIONS 



These are deservedly the most popular Carnations with 

 the amateur, as they begin flowering in July or August if 

 sown early in the Spring. The strain offered 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 ordinary Winter and bloom 

 freely the following Spring. oz. Oz. Pkt.
