CARNATION and PICOTEE-<Dianthus 
Caryophyllus). 
No flower can surpass in delicacy of marking, form, 
or delicious fragrance, the richly-hued Carnation. It 
has always been one of the most esteemed of the flor¬ 
ist’s collection, and there is no flower more desirable for 
the garden. The seed will not produce all double flow¬ 
ers, though a good percentage will be double, and of all 
shades and colors, many being very fragrant. Sow under 
glass in green-house or hot-bed, and when of sufficient 
size, transplant two feet apart each way. New and 
choice varieties are obtained from seed. Half-hardy 
perennial; one and a half feet high.
