CARNATIONS AT S. J. GODDARD'S 



The proposed "field day" ol the 

 Gardeners' and inorists' Club of Bos- 

 ton at Krainingham was at the last 

 moment postponed until January on 

 account of the heavy snow storm in 

 progress. A half dozen of the more 

 venturesome, however, carried out the 

 proBram to the extent of a visit to 

 S. J. Goddard's carnation houses and 

 found plenty to fully compensate for 

 the trip. Mr. Goddard is one of the 

 growers who make a reputation for 

 Boston carnations and his place is at 

 all times a model of clean culture and 

 good management. At present, how- 

 ever, interest is focussed on the house 

 of Dorner seedlings and we were glad 

 to see here indisputable evidence that 

 the old time Dorner fame is destined 

 to shine out in undinimed lustre in 

 these new things now in training. 

 Pink Sensation, we might say in start- 

 ing, suits us: it is worthy of its name. 

 Laddie is a salmon giant, but im- 

 presses us as rather coarse. Another 

 nice salmon pink is No. 148. Rosalia, 

 however, "hits the high spots" with 

 a color unprecedented in caniations. 

 The color is what the FYench call 

 "ponceau." deep pink with a lively 

 glow, and it has all the attributes of 

 stem and vigor as produced here. No. 

 167 is a true scarlet, with color, form 

 and fragrance leaving nothing to be 

 desired. No. 34 is a handsome white, 

 with pink pencillings. finely formed 

 flower and enormous plant. There is 

 another unique white with scarlet 

 markings that will be heard from. Mr. 

 Goddard says that next year he ex- 

 pects to have the place nearly all in 

 Dorner novelties. 



We cannot quit this interesting 

 place without a word of comment on 

 the other varieties seen in quantity. 



Mr. Goddard's favorites — Doris and 

 Rosetta, are demonstrating every qual- 

 ity that has been claimed for them. 

 Helen Goddard is still going strong 

 and Matchless is still maintaining its 

 right to its name. Mr. Goddard ad- 

 vises that Matchless should never be 

 "lopped" but left alone after it is 

 ijUmted inside. Gloriosa. like Pink De- 

 light, is rather expensive to grow, ow- 

 ing to the smallness of the plants 

 which necessitates "planting double" 

 in the house. Nancy is a better plant 

 and flower than Pink Delight, not 

 quite as tall but superior in fragrance, 

 and although not available for a very 

 early crop it stands to put all the old 

 light pink sorts out of the market. 



Plant Propagation, Greenhouse 

 and Nursery Practice 



By M. (i. K.VINS 



We have had many imiulrles from 

 time to time for a reliable and up-to- 

 date hook on plant propagation, hut 

 were always at a loss to find any pub- 

 lication that we could recommend. The 

 subject has been dealt with in fragmen- 

 tary manner only In books that have 

 come to our notice. So It Is well that 

 this new work has been issued, especi- 

 ally as It Is both comprehensive and 

 practical, and It should meet with a 

 ready sale among plantsmen, nursery- 

 men and gardeners. There are nineteen 

 chapters covering in detail topics of 

 trerminiition and longevity of seeds, 

 propagating by buds, layering, cuttings, 

 grafting, etc., fruit tree stocks, clons, 

 etc., and there are eight pages of con- 

 densed cultural Instructions In tabu- 

 lated form, covering annuals and peren- 

 nials from seed, woody plants, ever- 

 greens, vines, bulbs and tubers, green- 

 house and house plants, ferns, palms, 

 water plants, orchids and cacti. The 

 Illustrations are numerous, comprising 

 21.3 figures and halftone plates. There 

 are .322 pages well bound and on heavy 

 paper, teeming with helpful Information, 

 It Is a hook which no cultivator can 

 afford to do without. It Is worth many 

 litTies its price. Copies can be supplied 

 from the office of HORTICULTURE at 

 publisher's price, $1.50.
