"Carnation," "Pink," "Clove Pink," 

 "Florists' Pink" are names applied 

 by different people to the same or to 

 different 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.
