Fragrant Hardy 
Garden Carnations 
Who does not love the delightful, spicy fragrance of carnations? They are 
wonderful for cutting and excellent for beds, borders or pots. The dwarf 
varieties, because of their compact growth, are excellent for edgings and rock 
gardens. All do best in well-drained soil, rich in lime, and a sunny exposure. 
If seed is sown early, many plants will bloom the same season. Plants, especially 
Chabaud's Giant Improved, may be lifted in the fall and potted up for indoor 
winter flowering.
