144 PICTORIAL PRACTICAL: CARNATION GROWING. 
For the Garden. 
We have not many Mrs. John Laing Roses among our Carnations, 
that is, varieties which are equally good for the garden and the show. 
What suits one purpose may not suit another. The very best 
garden Carnations the writer has ever had are Henry Falkland and 
Hildegarde, but he has seen better in the prize stands. Here isa 
selection of good sorts, in their colours : 
Dark Crimson or Maroon. Salmon Pink. 
Mephisto. Bomba. 
Black Prince. Rose. 
Agnes Sorrel. Lady Hermione. 
White. Mary Hambro. 
Hildegarde. Asphodel. 
Sir Galahad, Crimson, 
‘Trojan. Gil Polo, 
Pink. Terracotta. 
Bridegroom. Francis Samuelson. 
Lady Carrington. ; Yellow. 
Heliotrope. Cecilia. 
Capuchin. Daffodil. 
Scarlet. = Apricot. 
Barras. Sir R. Waldie Griffith. 
Etna. Mrs. R. C. Cartwright. 
Yellow Ground. Peach. 
Henry Falkland. Lady Nina Balfour, 
Selfs dominate this list, and indeed they are far superior to 
Flakes, Bizarres, and Picotees for garden effect. The Yellow 
Ground Fancies are also good for outdoors, and those named below 
for exhibition may be chosen in addition to Henry Falkland. 
For Exhibition. 
In making a selection for show purposes we have to choose 
varieties which, under special cultivation, will produce flowers of — 
good size and form. Mere vigour of ‘constitution is not enough, 
valuable as it is out of doors. The sorts may be classified in their 
various sections. 
Scarlet Bizarres. Pink and Purple Bizarres. 
Robert Houlgrave. Wm. Skirving. 
Robert Lord. Sarah Payne. 
Admiral Curzon. Mrs. Barlow. 
George. H. K. Mayor. 
Crimson Bizarres. Purple Flakes. 
Rifleman. James Douglas. 
Master Fred. George Melville. 
J. D. Hextall. Gordon Lewis. 
J. S. Hedderley. Martin Rowan. 
Scarlet Flakes. Rose Flakes, 
Sportsman. Thalia.
