CARNATION 
(Hardy) 
These beautiful flowers, although they are not nearly as 
large as the greenhouse carnations, take their place quite well 
for summer. They grow about 18 inches high bearing their 
numerous flowers each on a separate stem that comes up from 
the ground. A single two-year plant often bears as many as 
a dozen large flowers in a season if the blooming flowers are 
picked so the newer buds can develop. They are not strictly 
hardy in all locations and need a mulch of leaves or coarse 
manure as a winter covering.
