Clematis Indivisa. 



Select Carnations. 



The Carnations which we furnish in 

 snring are thrifty young plants from 

 pots, and shouldbe handled as foilows: 



The young plants can be grown in 

 a cool 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 pot-bound. 



As soon as all danger from hard 

 frost is over, plant in the garden 12 

 inches eacli way, and keep well culti- 

 vated until they begin to bloom, when 

 a li<^ht mulch of strawy manure will 

 be beneficial to retain moisture in the 

 soil, and help nourish the pl.tnts. 



CASSIA FLORIBUNDA, A BOEHM. 



A free flowering plant, with large orange-yellow flowers, which are

 planting in the border in summer, or for pot culture, or it may be grown 

 in a tub into a large specimen, five feet or more high, in which shape it 

 makes an effective lawn plant. It can be wintered in a dormant con- 

 dition in a cellar or similar place, where not exposed to severe frost.

in bloom for a Ions; 



Shlhct Carnation. 



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 cul- 

 tural 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 temperature 

 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.
