 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 

 slignt protection of coarse straw or pine boughs will preserve them 

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

 they may be pr)tted to bloom during winter in the house. The flowers 

 are large, about >sj per cent usually < oiniug double.

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

 annual it has attaineti a popular position, and will continue 

 to hold a foremost place in the garden. The beautiful double- 

 fringed flowers make a brilliant display of attractive coloring 

 in tne open, and they are greatly prized for border or talile 

 decoration. Our strain produces an unusually high percent- ' 

 age of doubles. Height, iS in. Mixed colors 80 75 |
