in large racemes. A vigorous grower when well established. $1 
each. 
Carnation Pinks. 
Carnations are important to those who desire to have cut flowers in August, September and October, as they will 
bloom freely during these months if planted out in April or early in May. To have a beautiful bed of Carnations, the soil 
should be quite rich ; if not already so, it can be enriched with thoroughly-rotted manure ; the plants should be set about 
ten inches apart each way, and all flower shoots which appear before the first of July should be pinched out. They should 
be well watered during hot, dry weather, and if they are mulched with rotted manure, leaf mold or grass to a depth of one 
and a half or two inches, it will improve their growth very materially.

healthy grower; in every respect a Carnation of the first order.

carmine ; of vigorous habit and very floriferous. The flowers are

edge, with stripes of purplish crimson. 20 cents each. 
Ferdinand Mangold. This is by far the grandest dark Carna¬ 
tion ever seen, and at the same time the most abundant bloomer. 
Flowers of very large size and perfectly formed ; color very brilliant 
dark red, shaded with richest maroon ; fringed petals; nearly every 
flower being on a long stem renders it very valuable as a cut-flower 
variety. This variety surpasses in richness of color the most perfect 
Jacqueminot Rose. 20 cents each ; $2 per dozen.

15 cents each ; $1.50 per dozen.

it has been seen for its distinct and desirable color, being a beautiful
