NEW 
CARNATIONS 
Great advancements have been made 
in the carnation and we offer below the 
very best in commerce today. Carnations 
need full sun and should be disbudded 
to obtain maximum size. They should be 
pinched back upon receipt of plant to 
insure good branches. Heavy pruning 
once a year is recommended to keep 
plants neat and tidy in appearance.
