Fragrant Hardy 
Garden Carnations 
Carnations have always been general favorites. Who does not love their delight¬ 
ful, spicy fragrance? They are wonderful for cutting and excellent for beds or 
borders. Do best in well-drained soil, rich in lime, and a sunny exposure. If seed 
is sown early, many plants will bloom the same season.
