These beautiful Ever-blooming Carnation Pinks are esteemed among the prettiest and most desirable 

 flowers ; they bloom freely during the Summer and Autumn, and if lifted and taken indoors before 

 cold weather they will bloom finely during the Winter months, and be ready to go again to the flower gar- 

 den when Spring comes. The flowers are of various bright and charming colors, quite large, often measur- 

 ing over two inches in diameter, very double, and beautifully fringed and having the delightful clove 

 fragrance so much prized by all. The varieties described below have been selected as representing the 

 newest and choicest sorts for general planting, so that every one who gets them may be sure of having the 

 best. Carnations bear considerable frost, but are not entirely hardy, and should usually be taken indoors 

 during Winter.
