CARNATIONS 
The varieties we list here are best treated 
as annuals, although they will live over win- 
ter and flower again next season by giving 
slight protection with leaves or straw. From 
seeds sown in early spring plants begin flower- 
ing in July and continue until frost. 
Giant Marguerite, or Malmaison. Even 
the ordinary strains of the Marguerites are vig- 
orous in growth and well adapted to outdoor 
culture, but this Giant strain of ours is remark- 
able for its neat habit of growth, vigor, and the 
rich profusion of beautifully fringed double 
flowers — as large as many of our greenhouse 
Carnations. Like their greenhouse relatives, 
the Marguerites are delightfully fragrant, and 
the selection we have to offer embraces a gener- 
ous range of pleasing colors. Pkt. 15 cts., Moz.
