STUMPP & WALTER CO.’S SELECTED SEEDS 
CARNATIONS 
Carnations are general favorites for their delicious fragrance and rich¬ 
ness of colors. They are indispensable, both for greenhouse culture in winter 
and for the garden in summer. The Giant Double King, Marguerite, and 
Chabaud’s types are the best for summer flowering.

in five months after being sown, and continues to flower in the greatest 
profusion. Mixed colors. Pkt. 15 cts., P4OZ. 75 cts.

Giant Double King (Annual) 
Many gardeners do not realize how readily these Carnations may be 
grown. Seed may be sown outdoors when cold weather has gone, or, for 
earlier bloom, they may be sown in a frame, a greenhouse, or in a sunny 
window- Plant out the seedlings 6 inches apart, and from midsummer until 
frc/sT'-yoU'.will have Carnations just as full and sweetly perfumed as those 
sold by the florist, and almost as large. All they need is garden soil of fair 
average quality and plenty of sun. Also, you may remove side-buds so as 
to allow one flower on a stem at a time.
