 an abundance of flowers throughout the entire winter. Carnation blooms are expensive; don't buy them — grow them yourself. Pinch 

 the plant back frequently during the summer season. In the fall bring indoors, place in a four or five-inch pot. keep in temperature of 

 forty or fifty degrees at flight, and they wi,ll yield an immense number of flowers with splendid stems, as fine as those sold by florists.

 piece of ground, setting out the plants a foot apart and pinching them once or twice during the months of May or June. They will branch
