CARNATIONS 
E LL lovers of Carnations have reason to be 
grateful for the introduction of this won¬ 
derfully improved strain. The flowers 
often measure three inches across, and are 
usually as double as double can be; most 
of them have beautifully fringed petals, 
and are delightfully fragrant. One great 
merit of these Carnations is that they 
commence to flo\Ver in about twelve 
weeks' time from seed. Seeds sown in 
the spring will produce luxuriant 
plants that will be continually full 
of bloom from August until killed 
by severe frosts. If desired, the 
plants can be potted in the au¬ 
tumn, and they will continue to 
bloom profusely in the house 
through the winter, or seeds may 
be sown during the summer for 
the best winter-flowering plants.

GANNAS... 
Large-Flowering French. 
In this new class of Cannas we have 
something of pronounced merit for 
bedding—either in rows or large 
clumps—and for winter flowering in 
pots they are of scarcely less value. 
The foliage is luxuriant and the plants 
dwarf in habit. Their great merit, 
however, lies in the large size and bril¬ 
liant hues of the flowers, ranging 
through all shades of yellow and orange 
to the richest crimson, scarlet ami ver¬ 
milion ; some are also beautifully spotted. 
Seed sown in hot bed or greenhouse from 
January to April will produce flowering 
plants by July. (See cut.)
