COLLECTIONS OF CHOICE 
CARNATION AND PICOTEE SEEDS, 
Saved from tbe following classes by “ OuR Sardinian Correspondent,” 
From one of the finest collections in Europe, and yielding about Zo per cent, of double flowers. 
Carnations and Plcotees are prized for their delicious fragrance and exquisite heauty ; as cut flowers, 
they are Indispensable for furnishing flower-haskets and drawing-room bouquets, and for this pur- 
pose a reserve piece of ground should be devoted to their cultivation. Seedlings flower more profusely 
than propagated plants, therefore we recommend the following coUectlons saved from the classes noted,
