EVERYTHING FOR THE GARDEN— Flower Seeds 



Carnation, Marguerite, Giant Flowering 



These flower profusely in summer and autumn from seed sown in the spring The flowers 

 of this wonderful strain often measure 3 inches across, and are usually as double as double 

 can be. The variety of colors includes white, blush, deep pink, salmon , carmine scarlet 

 dark crimson, maroon and many beautiful variegated flowers. Most of them have lovely 

 fringed petals and are delightfully fragrant. One great merit' of these Carnations is that 

 they commence to flower in about twelve weeks' time from seed. Seed sown in the spring 

 will produce luxuriant plants that will be continuously full of bloom from August until 

 killed by severe frosts, or seeds may be sown during the summer for the wintcr-flowerina 

 plants. (See illustration.)
