ties named below are among the best ever grown for culture in open ground. 



Culture. — Carnations should be planted in open ground after danger of severe frost is 

 past. They bloom all Summer, and if potted and removed to the house before cold weather, 

 they will bloom finely during Winter, and be ready to plant out again in the Spring. They 

 will bear considerable frost, but are not entirely hardy. 



For Winter Flowering. — Lift with plenty of earth, so as to disturb the roots as little as 

 possible, and plant in large pots or boxes ; water thoroughly at first and sparingly after- 

 wards. They require plenty of air and light, but only moderate heat. Vast numbers of 

 Carnations are grown in the Winter for bouquets and floral decoration.
