Hardy Outdoor Carnations 
During the past few years plant breeders have developed the carnation to the point 
where it becomes indispensable to our outdoor gardens. The blooms have been in- _ 
creased in size so that now you can grow carnations outdoors that will rival the 
greenhouse varieties. Hardiness has been bred into the plants so they will now stand 
winter temperatures that are well below zero.
