Annual Carnation 
Campanula Medium 
CARNATION 
The splendid Carnation of the florist is a very 
interesting plant to grow from the seed, and 
it is not over-exacting. Sown under glass in early 
spring, or later in the open ground, the plants 
will flower finely the second summer. For largest, 
richest flowers we recommend culture in pots of 
rich soil. With many they are also garden favor- 
ites, and, grown in this way, flowers of good 
quality may be enjoyed all summer if given 
plenty of water, good soil, and a mulch about 
their roots. With the tall varieties, staking and 
tying are necessary. Young plants are perfectly 
hardy outdoors, but when two or three years old 
they are injured by winter cold, so that sowings 
should be made every year. The more expensive 
soi'ts produce the finest flowers. The prices 
we quote, although seemingly high, are most rea- 
sonable for strains such as we offer. 
ANNUAL CARNATION 
59146 Carters Annual Carnation. Bloom in six months 
from seed. Carnations are favorites with all lovers of 
flowers. This strain will bring them within the reach 
and the cultivation of everybody, as it is one of the most 
valuable introductions of modern times. Sow under glass 
in January and February, and transplant as soon as ready. 
They commence to flower in July, producing a wealth 
of large bloom of great variety of color until cut off 
by the frost, thus producing a supply after the perennial 
varieties are over. Being equally valuable for indoor 
cultivation, some can be potted and placed in a cool 
greenhouse, when they provide a succession of bloom 
during the winter months. They can also be sown in 
June to flower the following year. They produce a 
very large percentage of double flowers, and include 
a most varied assortment of fancy, yellow ground, bizarre, 
as well as seifs, rich with delightful fragrance, and di- 
versity of color. (Photograph above.) Pkt. 25c.
