About Tree or Perpetual Flowering Carnations 



Q. Will you please advise me as to tree Carnations 1 I received 

 them in April, just out of thumb pots, the plants being 3 or 4 inches 

 high. I potted into 60's in rich soil rather too tightly, I think, 

 because the foliage grew somewhat crinkled. However, they got 

 over that, and in July I potted on into 48's and 32's (according to the 

 condition of the 

 roots), this time in 

 the Chrysanthe- 

 mum compost with 

 an extra liberal 

 allowance of mor- 

 tar rubbish, and 

 ramming less hard 

 than I do the 

 Ch ry santhemums. 

 Some threw up 

 stems for blooms, 

 but these I pinched 

 back close, and all 

 are now (August) 

 healthy and well 

 on boards in the 

 sun. The growths 

 are 10 to 12 inches 

 long, and pots full 

 of roots. Kindly 

 advise whether I 

 shall be right to 

 give similar treat- 

 ment to that which 

 usually suits Chry- 

 santhemums. J.
