CARNATIONS 
The Carnation is one of our most 
desirable perennials. The plants 
start readily from seeds, stool out 
into fine clumps, begin to bloom in 
five months, and bloom continu¬ 
ously. If potted, they will bloom 
in the sunny window in winter. 
The flowers are large, perfectly 
double, deliciously fragrant, and 
come in rich colors, some striped 
or blotched. The plants will last 
for years, requiring a little protec¬ 
tion at the far north. To protect, 
simply place a board frame a foot 
high around the bed and fill it 
with dense, nude brush. This 
method may be used with other 
plants as well.

Daisy 
A glorious cut flower. Huge Daisies 
on 15-inch stems. Rich varied colors, 
lasts well. Fashionable. Everblooming. 
Hardy in the South but needs protec¬ 
tion North. 
Prepare a window-box of sandy po¬ 
rous soil, sifting and pressing the sur¬ 
face. In, this place the seeds, the 
fuzzy end just showing at the surface. 
Cover the box with a thick paper and 
do not let the soil dry out. Examine 
daily, and as soon as the plants start, 
which will be in three or four weeks, 
remove the paper. Avoid wind, storm, 
and hot noonday sun. When large 
enough, set in small pots with good 
drainage, and shift into larger pots as 
the plants develop. They should begin 
to bloom in eight months and are ever- 
blooming, lasting for years. 
This is an outstanding perennial and 
one of the very beautiful free-blooming 
pot plants that should be better known. 
Its easy culture and exquisite beauty 
commend it to all flower lovers. Don't 
fail to start some plants this season.
