COLLECTIONS OF CHOICE 
CARNATION AND PICOTEE SEEDS. 
Saved in the following classes by “ Our Sardinian Correspondent,” 
From one of the finest collections in Europe, yielding a large percentage of double flowers. 
Carnations and Picotecs are prized for their delicious fragrance arid exquisite beauty. As cut flowers, they 
are indispensable for furnishing flower-baskets and drawing-room bouquets , and for this purpose a reserve piece 
of ground should be devoted to their cultivation. Seedlings flower more profusely than propagated plants, there- 
fore we recommend the following collections saved from the classes noted. No reliance, however , can be placed 
upon the specific colours being reproduced .
