Hardy Carnations (Hardy Garden Pinks) 
Hardy Garden Pinks have a particular charm, mainly because they are fragrant, 
a virtue lacking in most perennials; but they have an additional charm, namely, their 
beautiful, silvery glaucous foliage, with its symmetric shape and the fact that the 
foliage retains its freshness in winter as well as summer. As a bold edging to 
flower-borders they are admirably adapted both for foliage and flower effect, as they 
flower most profusely. The newer sorts rival the hothouse Carnation in color and 
fragrance. Flowering season, June; space, 15 inches.
