No flov.-er can surpass in delicacy of marking, form, 

 or delicious fragrance, the richly-hued Carnation. It 

 has always been one of the most esteemed of the flor- 

 ist's collection, and there is no flower more desirable for 

 the garden. The seed will^not produce all double flow- 

 ers, though a good percentage will be double, and of all 

 shades and colors, many being very fragrant. Sow under 

 glass in green-house or hot-bed, and when of sufficient 

 size, transplant two feet apart each way. New and 

 choice varieties are obtained from seed. Half-hardy 

 perennial ; one and a half feet high.
