IRISH GARDENING 



ii;aguificent lot of Darwin and Cottage Tulips which 

 attracted much attention and which has probably 

 never been excelled at any show; the award of a 

 gold medal was well deseived. A similar award went 

 to Messrs. Ramsay of Ballsbridge, who put up an 

 artistic display of Roses and Carnations, beautifully 

 arranged with flowering and foliage plants, the whole 

 presenting a most pleasing effect. 



Daffodils, usually a strong feature, were not so 

 numerous this year, but many good varieties were 

 shown by Mrs. Butler, of Priestown House, Meath, 

 who captured most of the prizes.

Catalogues. 



The tremendous importance of Perpetual Flowering 

 Carnations could not be better exemplified than in 

 the sumptuous catalogues now issued by specialists 

 in the culture of Carnations. Mr. C. Englemann, of 

 S.'iffron Walden, a noted grow'er and raiser, has 

 favoured us with a copy of his current issue, and we 

 find it full of interest and information. A large 

 number of varieties is offered and described, and 

 the illustrations of blooms and plants are among the 

 finest we have seen. The photographs of the huge 

 quarter acre houses devoted to the cultivation oi 

 Carnations at Saffron Walden impress one with the 

 great importance of the Carnation industry. Every- 

 one who grows Carnations should have a copy of 

 Mr. Englemann 's Catalogue. 



Opportunities for Young Farmers. 



We would direct the attention of Irish farmers to 

 the announcement in our advertising columns rela- 

 tive to courses in Agriculture to be provided by the 

 Department during the year 1921-2-2. Farmers' 

 sons should obtain particulars of these courses witli 

 a view to taking advantage of one or other of them. 

 It will be seen that courses in Horticulture and 

 Creamery Management are also provided for 

 students who desire to gain instruction in these 

 branches- 



Practical training in farming is provided at the 

 agi-icultural schools at Athenry, County Galway: 

 Ballyhaise, County Cavan; Clonakilty, County Cork;

 vanced course of training in technical agriculture 

 suitable for students who propose to enter the 

 Agricultural Faculty of the Royal College of 

 Science. Board and lodging are provided for 

 students at all these schools. 



Very valuable scholarships in connection with the 

 Agj-icultural Faculty at the Royal College of Science 

 are offered to young men between 18 and .30 years 

 of age who desire to obtain a thorough knowledge 

 of Technical Agriculture with a view to (a) be-

SMITH'S LIQUID WEED KILLER 



The Railway Companies have recently made very stringent 

 regulations regarding the transport of Liquid Weed Killer and 

 as these regulations add very much to the cost, consumers are 

 strongly recommended to use the Powder Weed Killer, which 

 is in every way equally effective, indeed for some years most 



users have preferred the powder form
