Carnation 



(Dianthus 

 Caryophyllus) . 



"Carnation," "Pink," " Clove Pink," "Florist's 

 Pink ■" are names applied by different people to the 

 same or to dilTerent plants of several species as well as 

 to hybrids between them. They are all easily grown 

 from seed and very free blooming; the flowers being bright colored and 

 with a most delicious, clove-like fragrance. Some of the varieties are 

 very desirable for the professional florist and make fine house plants 

 for the amateur. Others do best in the open ground and are among the 

 most desirable of garden plants. Half hardy perennial.

 certain to get a large proportion of double and very beautiful flowers.
