 Carnations (H.h.p.) 



The earliest of all Carnations, blooming in July or August if sown 

 in spring, and continuing until frost. Being half-hardy perennials, a 

 slight protection of coarse straw or pine boughs will preserve them 

 during winter and they will flower profusely the next summer, or 

 they may be potted to bloom fluring winter in the house. The flowers 

 are large, about 80 per tent usually coming double. 

 BODDINGTON'S IMPROVED MARGUERITE. From the 

 ease with which this fine Carnation can be flowered as an annual 

 it has attained a popular position, and will continue to hold a fore-

CARNATION. VANGUARD 



This race of Carnation has universally pleased our customers. 

 The great merit of this strain is that it produces an admirable 

 form of exquisitely scented flowers within six months from the date 

 of sowing; hence it is easy to grow the best Carnations as annuals, 

 saving all the trouble of wintering the jilants. A succession of these 

 popular flowers can be maintained after the perennial varieties have 

 gone out of bloom. The colors include Fancy, Self, Bizarre and 

 Yellow Grounds. Mixed colors, 'A pkt. 75 cts., pkt. $1.25
