Show Picotees that will carry three or more blooms ona stem for 
exhibition :—Waine’s Victoria, Irshar’s Rosalind, Gedden’s Sir R. 
Peel, Gedden’s Masterpiece, Sharpe’s Duke of Wellington, and several 
others. It is requisite to bloom some of these latter varieties in per- 
fection, to take off the master pod, which decreases the others in size, 
and induces their expansion more truly, and in greater perfection. 
Brillianey of colour in the Carnation and Picotee is another point of 
excellence to which it is desirable to direct the attention of amateurs. 
To facilitate this, I recommend a weak solution of sheep manure in 
water, to be given them once or twice a-week during the period the 
pods are swelling. Should this solution be judiciously applied, it will 
be found highly beneficial both as regards the size and beauty of the 
flowers. 
The manner of preparing this manure water is briefly as follows :— 
Have a sufficient quantity of water to irrigate your plants once, made 
boiling hot, previously ordering a tub to be prepared, with due regard 
to the quantity of water before alluded to; place therein one-third of 
sheep manure ina fresh state, then pour the boiling water on it till the 
tub becomes filled ; stir it up from the bottom with a stick for two or 
three minutes, when it must be covered over with a cloth to prevent the 
steam from escaping ; in about two hours it may be strained through a 
fine sieve, when it is ready for use. To every three gallons of pure 
water add one quart of the above mixture.
