hardy plant, profusely covered 
with large bell shaped flowers

They are really beautiful and 
are well deserving of the popu¬ 
larity they have enjoyed for gen¬ 
erations. You will never regret 
planting these attractive flowers 
in your garden. Our strain of 
this seed is of the very finest 
and will produce strong plants 
with an abundance of blosspms. 
Some will often flower the first 
year from seed if sown indoors 
in the very early months of 
spring. We advise however that 
they be started outdoors during 
the middle of spring usually 
about April, either in a box or 
seed bed. After the first frost in 
the fall the plants should be 
covered lightly with litter to 
protect them during the winter 
months. No. 1007 Canterberry

CARNATIONS 
THE DIVINE FLOWER

been prized as a hardy border 
flower, and it certainly de¬ 
serves all the praise lavished 
upon it. Being hardy, free- 
flowering and easily grown, 
either in flower-beds, borders, 
or pots, it is one of the most 
valuable and beautiful of our 
summer flowers and a favor¬ 
ite with everyone. Plants 
raised from seed bloom more 
profusely than propagated 
plants and are therefore to 
be preferred. This Wilson

them all. Our assortment in¬ 
cludes all the colors aDd 
stripes, can be planted in a 
box in the house any time.
