GENERAL LIST \ IVERYOXE likes the rich, spicy odor of the carnation, which Is positively delicious, combined with its varied color and hand- some form, leaves little to he desired. They are very easily grown and bloom freely, either as bedding plants in Sum- mer, or in the greenhouse or window garden in Winter. Planted out in April they will commence flowering in the Summer and con- tinue until checked by heavy frosts in late Autumn. If intended for Winter flowering they should not be allowed to exhaust them- selves by blooming in the Summer, but the buds ought to be pinched out as they appear, and should be taken up and potted before the first of October, and kept shaded and close for a few days, when they will be ready for removal to the conservatory or window where they are to bloom. The collection named below contains the very finest varieties in cultivation, which will be most certain to please the cultivator, and cannot be too highly recommended, including as It does, some of the latest novelties. All lovers of these beautiful flowers ought to trv a small collection of them. Price 8 cents; four for 25 cents; ten for 50 cents; twenty for $1.00. American Klag—A distinct and novel variety.
