The Annual Carnation Is Beautiful—and of the Simplest Culture 
Carnations 
CARNATIONS 
They are veritable Jewels of the Garden 
Annua! Varieties 
GIANT DOUBLE KING. Rich color, deli¬ 
cious fragrance, and ease of culture charac¬ 
terize this sort. Seed may be sown out¬ 
doors 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 frost you will have Car¬ 
nations just as full and sweetly perfumed 
as those sold by the florist, and almost as 
large. You may remove .side-buds so as 
to allow one flower on a stem at a time.

ENFANT DE NICE. This strain is the 
result of a cross between Chabaud’s Giant 
Improved and Perpetual. The plants are 
of robust, upright habit, with large, strong 
stalks bearing flowers to 3 inches in 
diameter. This strain is magnificent and 
is, thus far, the last word in annual Carna¬ 
tions. The color comes about 75 per cent 
true from seed, and the plants are about 
90 per cent double. We offer this strain 
in the following five colors as well as a mix¬ 
ture, which includes many colors not yet 
available separately.
