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 2 inches across, and are usually as 

 double as double can be. Most of them have lovely fringed petals and are delight- 

 fully fragrant. One great merit of these Carnations is that they commence to flower 

 in about twelve weeks' time from seed. Seed sown in t he spring will produce luxuri- 

 ant 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 winter-flowering plants.

imposing, but the flowers charm everyone by their simplicity and beauty. Seed may 



be sown either in the spring or the fall of the year, and if larger flowers are wanted,

they re-seed themselves.
