shorter. Plants from seeds sown in February or 
March and given good treatment by frequent 
potting in early spring, and planting in good soil 
in April will make strong bushy plants capable of 
carrying 100 to-150 blooms and buds or more by the 
beginning of September. 
When treated as an annual the Marguerite Carna- 
tion also makes a splendid town plant, as it escapes 
the smoke and filth of our skies in winter and blooms 
to perfection in summer. It succeeds well in the 
London parks and gardens.
