HARDY CARNATIONS 
The Truest Hardy Outdoor Carnations. 
No Florist should be without them. 
Beautiful strain of hardy pinks, which 
resembles most of all the indoor Carna¬ 
tions, blooming- in great abundance all 
summer, in the most magic colors, flow¬ 
ers being semi- to full-double. Excellent 
for cutting and very hardy. By cutting 
all flowers off, the life of the plant is 
maintained and it renews itself and starts 
new growth of the top and roots.
