Ever-Blooming Carnation Pinl(s 



^ ^ %i §1 ^ iii ^ 



FOR beauty of flower and color, ease of culture, certainty and freedom ot bloom, together with exquisite fragrance, this 

 is well called the '■ Divine Flower." Plants in the opeii ground quickly make large specimens, and when Ijroughr indoois 

 in the Fall, produce an abundance of flowers throughout the entire W'inter. Carnation blooms are expensive. Don'i 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 temperatuture of 40 to 50 degrees at night, and they will > ield 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. "VVe oflt-r 

 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.
