CANDYTUFT. Hardy Annual. These have long been among 
the most highly prized of garden annuals. The best effect

this reason is the best for florists. Pkt. 5 cts., Koz. 25 cts.

CARNATIONS, Marguerite. Half-hardy Perennial (with 
protection can be wintered over outside). These are the 
Carnations for growing outdoors with other garden an¬ 
nuals. They begin flowering a few weeks from the time the 
seed is sown. The flowers are large and double and highly 
scented. Do not confuse these with the fancy Carnations 
grown in greenhouses by the florists. It is impossible to 
grow those fancy Carnations to perfection in the ordinary 
flower-garden; they must have greenhouse culture; not so, 
however, with the Marguerite variety; these grow in any 
good garden soil. Splendid for bouquets.

to twenty stalks bearing huge flowers comparing with the 
finest greenhouse-grown varieties. Highly scented. 1.

growth, making them much more effective. Hundreds of 
flowers are borne on long stems; very desirable for bouquets.
