THE DINGEE & CONARD COMPANY'S 



Fine Ever-Blooming Carnation Pinks. 



The Ever-Blooming 1 or Monthly Carnation Pinks are highly valued by all lovers of beautiful 



flowers. They bloom continuously ; 

 the flowers are large and full, of bright 

 striking colors and sweet clove fra- 

 grance. The varieties named below 

 are among the best ever grown for cul- 

 ture in open ground. 



Culture. — Carnations should be 

 planted in open ground after danger of 

 severe frost is past. They bloom all 

 Summer, and, if potted and removed to 

 the house before cold weather, they will 

 bloom finely during Winter and be 

 ready to plant out again in the Spring. 

 They will bear considerable frost, but 

 are not entirely hardy. 



For Winter Flowering-. — The 

 plants should be taken up just before 

 the first frost; lift with plenty of earth, 

 so as to disturb the roots as little as 

 possible, and plant in large pots or 

 boxes; water thoroughly at first and 

 sparingly afterwards. They require 

 plenty of light and air, but only moder- 

 ate heat. Vast numbers of Carnations 

 are grown in the Winter for bouquets 

 and floral decoration.
