SEEDLING CARNATIONS, FROM OUR COLLECTION OF CHOICE VARIETIES. 
i 
Carnations are easily raised from seed, and give a profusion of delight- j 
fully scented blooms. 
The “ Marguerite ” Section is a special favourite with amateurs, as the j 
plants when raised from Seed early in the Spring, produce an abundance I 
of flowers during the Summer, if sown in June, carefully lifted in Autumn ! 
and potted up, they will continue to bloom right into the Winter. 
Carnation seed may be sown from March to May in well-drained pans of 
good rich soil, and these should be 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 nine inches apart in boxes or 
prepared 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.
