New Carnation, 
Giants of Nice 
No. 655. A new giant 
strain of perpetual carna¬ 
tions, introduced by a cele¬ 
brated French specialist. 
It is unquestionably the 
finest of the perpetual 
class, attaining an im¬ 
mense size and beginning 
to bloom almost as early 
as the Carnation Margue¬ 
rite, and producing nearly 
100 per cent, double flow¬ 
ers, with a large percent¬ 
age of yellows. They are 
profuse bloomers, deli¬ 
ciously fragrant and con¬ 
tain a magnificent variety 
of colors and markings. 
As the flowers last a long 
time after being cut, they 
will be found equally valu¬ 
able to the florist and pri¬ 
vate gardener for open 
ground or pot culture.
