THE DING-EE & CONARD COMPANY'S 



EVER-BLOOMING CARNATION PINKS. 



The Ever-Blooming 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 fragrance. 



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. — 

 Lift with plenty of earth so as to 

 disturb the roots as little as pos- 

 sible, and plant in large pots or 

 boxes ; water thoroughly at first 

 and sparingly afterwards. They 

 require plenty of air and light, 

 but only moderate heat. Vast 

 numbers of Carnations are 

 grown in the Winter for bouquets 

 and floral decoration.
