This exquisite Carnation of our own growing has

over 100 flowers on one plant. Without exception, 
they are the most fragrant hardy plant grown. 
Also, they are one of the easiest perennials to 
grow from seed. Sown outdoors any time from 
May to July, they should start flowering the next 
June. No winter protection is necessary as they 
have proved hardy in extreme northern climates.

Harris’ Hardy Carnations

Pyrethrum (Painted Daisies) we have ever 
seen. The flowers are much larger, with more

and the stems are longer and stiffer. They are 
ideal for bouquets as the flowers are held 
upright and do not tip or droop, even after 
they are cut. The colors are largely in shades 
of red and pink.
