BORDER CARNATIONS AT WISLEY, 1905, 1906. 



Stocks of 131 varieties of Carnations were sent to the Society's 

 Garden for trial, and planted out in the spring of 1905. Owing to 

 drought on the light soil and most persistent attacks of thrips, the trial 

 was not satisfactory, but layers were taken in the autumn and all the 

 varieties were again tested, with one addition, in 1906.
