ANNUAL CHRYSANTHEMUMS, CHOICEST MIXED. 
Carnations are easily raised from seed, and give a profusion of delight- 
fully scented blooms. 
The “ Marguerite ” Seotion is a special favourite with amateurs, as the 
plants when raised from Soed early in the Spring, produce an abundance 
of flowers during the Summer, if sown in Juno, carefully lifted in Autumn 
and potted up, they will continue to bloom right into the Winter. 
Carnation seed may bo sown from March to May in well-drained pans of 
good rich soil, and these should bo kept shaded until the seeds have 
germinated, when the plants should be gradually hardened off by admitting 
air and light. Prick off the seedlings about nino inches apart in boxes or 
propared borders, and let them stay there until the Autumn, when they 
may be permanently planted in the positions they are to occupy. 
The Perpetual or Tree varieties are a very valuable class, giving as they 
do a charming display in Winter; when flowers are so much valued.
