ENGLISH GIANTS 
The best type of Carnation 
we have seen for the gar-

is willing to give his plant-

to obtain the best. If well 
grown and the secondary 
buds are removed from 
under the main bloom, the 
gardener will obtain blooms 
comparable to the finest 
greenhouse grown Carna- 
tions. The flowers will at- 
tain 4 in. diameter, being 
fully double and borne on 
long stems. The colors em- 
brace every Carnation col- 
or. We recommend this fine

reservation. 40 seeds. 25¢
