PERPETUAL BORDER CARNATIONS, AND OTHERS 53 



acquaintance specialised in Malmaisons, and did well out of them, 

 but the coming of the perpetual flowering carnations, which have 

 now embraced several Malmaisons, tended to detract from their 

 value as a special line. In a very short time we think that the 

 perpetual Malmaisons will entirely displace the older kinds, and 

 so for all practical purposes we may begin to allow them to merge 

 into that larger class which require the same conditions and 

 treatment.
