e (Dianthus Caryophyllus) ‘‘Carnation,” “Pink,” ‘Clove Pink,” ‘‘Florists’ Pink,” are names 
applied by different people to the same or to different plants of several species as well as 
arna 10n to hybrids between them. They are all easily grown from seed and very free blooming, the 
flowers being bright colored and with a most delicious clove-like fragrance. The improved 
varieties we offer are suitable for cutting. They produce very double, semicircular blooms with thick wax-like petals and long 
pod-like calyx. The plants are branching but compact and erect, with slender, bluish green foliage. For larger flowers of better 
quality remove all but terminal buds. Half hardy perennial, usually treated as biennial 
The choicest varieties sold by florists are propagated from cuttings but very beautiful double flowers just as good in form 
and more fragrant, although not as large can be produced from the seed we offer. Sow under glass in the greenhouse or 
hotbed from January to March. Use well prepared soil, cover lightly and keepin a temperature of about 60° F. Sprinkle with 
a fine spray. When the young plants are of a sufficient size transplant them out of doors two feet apart each way, or the

flowers and seed vessels together with their supports form a very brilliantly colored mass, sometimes 
e osla gracefully arranged like plumes and sometimes more dense, being corrugated and frilled at the edge 
like a cock’s comb. They form the gayest possible decoration in beds and borders. retaining their 
brilliant coloring often from midsummer until frost. The red Cristata sorts are sometimes cut before fully ripe and dried in 
the house for winter bouquets. 
Seed may be sown outdoors as early in spring as ground is warm and dry, using if possible light, rich, well pulverized soil, 
and giving plenty of moisture. For larger and more beautiful plumes start the seed very early indoors and transplant to 
place when weather is settled. Also adapted for 
growing in pots in greenhouse and conservatory.
