CARNATION, MARGUERITE 
Giant Flowering 
(Shown in colors on opposite page) 
These flower profusely in summer and autumn from seed sown in the 
6pring. The flowers of this wonderful strain often measure 3 inches across, 
and are usually as double as double can be. The variety of colors includes 
white, blush, deep pink, salmon, carmine, scarlet, dark crimson, maroon and 
many beautiful variegated flowers. Most of them have lovely fringed petals 
and are delightfully fragrant. One great merit of these Carnations is that 
they commence to flower in about twelve weeks’ time from seed. Seed sown in 
the spring will produce luxuriant plants that will be continually full of bloom 
from August until killed by severe frosts, or seeds may be sown during the 
summer for the winter-flowering plants.
