THESE ARE CHOICE, FULLY DEVELOPED PERENNIAL PLANTS 
11 
A spray of Hardy Carnations, Grenadin White and hardy Gyp and ferns. The same arrangement can be made with 
Grenadin Pink or Grenadin Red Carnations. By wiring four or five of the smaller blooms together, five or six dozen 
of these flowers will make a large spray. These Carnations bloom profusely. A small outdoor planting furnishes 
enough flowers for many pieces. The plants do better if flowers are all cut as they come into bloom. 
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.
