PURIFYING THE LISTS. 



HoKTioui.Ti'HE PrrujsniNd Co.: 



Gentlemen: — We are sending you a 

 list of names which we propose to 

 drop from the carnation register, un- 

 less we succeed in securing data 

 which we now lack. 



Will you kindly publish this list, 

 with the request that anyone who can 

 supply the color, parentage, origina- 

 tor, disseminator, and date of dissem- 

 ination of any variety in the large sec- 

 tion of the list, will please communi- 

 cate the same to this office? 



We have been working on this car- 

 nation register through a period of 

 several years and have complete data 

 on most of the varieties listed. As 

 soon as it becomes apparent that the 

 register is as complete as it is possi- 

 ble to make it. the American Carna- 

 tion Society proposes to publish it in 

 pamphlet form and distribute it 

 among its members. 



It is calculated that this register 

 will be of great benefit to those who 

 secure copies, as it will contain full 

 data on practically every carnation in- 

 troduced within the past 40 years. It 

 will stand as the highest authority in 

 carnation nomenclature. 



Yours very truly. 



A. F. J. B.wii.

 description nor disseminator.

FLOWERING FOXGLOVES IN 

 MARCH. 

 Editor HORTICULTURE: 



Will vou please let me know if foxgloves 

 can be "flowered in February or March if 

 given a few frosts now in the pots, the 

 same as Campanula pyramidalis and with 

 the same treatment, or is it advisable to 

 not let them freeze. Your answer to this 

 will be a great help to me. 



Dalton. Mass. c. S. 



Nahant, Mass., Sept. 17, 1913. 



Dear Sir: I have had no experience 

 in forcing foxgloves, but I think with 

 gentle forcing they might be had in 

 flower by March. I think several good 

 freezings would help. T. Roland.
