56 THE CARNATION MANUAL. 



Early frosts, if the layers are not well estab- 

 lished, are very apt to lift them, and care must be 

 taken that they are firmly pressed down into their 

 places again. 



Keep the reserves of layers and seedlings ex- 

 posed completely in dry weather ; be very sparing 

 of water — better none than too much. 



DECEISIBER. 



Continue the operations of November.
