SELECT CARNATIONS. 
The Carnations which we furnish in spring are thrifty young plants from 
pots, and should be handled as follows: 
The young plants can be grown inacool greenhouse, hotbed or cold- 
frame where the temperature can be maintained at 50 degrees at night, 
with plenty of fresh air during the day. The little plants should be shifted 
along as required, and never allowed to get potbound. 
As soon as all danger from hard frost is over, plant in the garden 12 
inches each way, and keep well cultivated until they begin to bloom, when 
a light mulch of strawy manure will be beneficial to retain moisture in the 
soil, and help nourish the plants. 
Plants so treated should begin to flower in July and continue to produce 
an abundance of flowers until killed by frost. For winter flowering the 
same cultural notes apply, with the exception that the flower shoots should 
be kept pinched back until about the middle of August, when they should 
be planted on benches in the greenhouse for the season’s crop of flowers. 
Any good fresh soil, moderately enriched, will grow them. Plant 9 to 
12 inches apart, according to the size of the plants. The same night tem- 
perature that is required for the little plants before planting out will make 
good flowers, with 15 to 20 degrees higher and plenty of fresh air during 
bright days; water only sufficiently to keep plants from wilting,

CALLAS (Richardia). 
The varieties offered below 
succeed best when treated in 
the same manner as Gladiolus, 
Tuberoses and other summer- 
flowering bulbs. They should 
be planted in the open border 
in a dormant condition when 
danger from frost is over in 
spring, and will then flower 
during the summer months. 
In the autumn dig and store 
through the winter as you would 
potatoes. 
Golden Yellow (Richardia 
Elliottiana). This is the 
best of the Yellow Callas, 
its flowers being as large as 
the popular white variety, 
but of a rich lustrous golden- 
yellow of velvety texture ; 
the foliage is dark green, with 
translucent cream y-white 
spots, which adds much to its 
beauty. Strong bulbs, 35 
cts. each; $3.50 per doz.

tory will find them among the most desirable plants to grow.
