a brownish-red shade, the plants being of medium height and 

 daptable to both pot culture and to the production of cut blooms, 

 ow the first lot of seed about the middle of April and transplant 

 le seedlings when large enough to the open field. Lift in October 

 nd pot into 5s or 6s according to their size. The plants, up to 

 sbruary, are just as well off in a coldframe. 



About the middle of February the first lot can be brought into 

 Carnation house temperature where they will start to flower in 

 ^arch. A heavy plant in a 6-in. pot will have from fifteen to 

 wenty flower spikes and can either be sold as a pot plant or the 

 owers can be used for cutting. Other batches of plants may be 

 brought in from time to time; also a later sowing can be made, say, 

 tbout the middle of May. If you have plenty of field plants they 

 an be carried along in frames and planted on solid beds in a cold- 

 louse or in benches and grown on for cut flowers. Or plants carried 

 n a frame can be planted outdoors in early Spring where they will 

 nake a showy bed. Of course, it all depends on what variety you 

 }lant. You cannot make a cheap strain of mixed seed pay, but 

 .here are excellent named sorts 

 such as Goliath, dark brown; 

 Ruppert, brownish-red; and 

 Goliath Triumph, purplish- 

 primson.
