Carnation Pinks. 



Ne.xt to Koses, Carnations are the most {lopular Florist flowers grown, but are popularly supposed t" be a Florists' 

 flower, antl not to be sticces.sfiilly grown anil bloomed outside of a greenhonse; but with proper treatment, which 

 is simple enough, they may be freely bloomed out doors during the months of .Vugust, September and October. Young 

 plants should be prrxiured in April or May, and be sure that they are young plants, no matter how insignificant tliey 

 may look, for large plants are ones that have been bloomed all winter, ttnd are comparatively worthless, tlarnations are 

 quite hardy, iitid should be planted as early as possible, just as siKjn as the ground is in condition to work, say from the 

 20tli of April to the SOth of May in this latitude. The soil should be quite rich, well manured with thoroughly rotted 

 manure, or, if not to be had, bone dust may be used to advantage. 



To have a beautiful bed of Carnations in the fall the plants should be planted aljout ten inches apart each way ; as 

 the plant.s grow they should be "stopiied," that is, when the shoots of growth become six indies long they should have 

 the points pinched out. This operation should be continued uii until the. 1st of July, when it must be discontinued if 

 flowers are wished in August. 



.\fter Roses, Carnations rank the highest in our estimation, atiii they, perhaps, appreciate our regard fur them, 

 for we have been especially successful in their culture, and have acquired the reputation of being the leading 

 Carnation growers in this country. To those familiar with Carnations we think our new varieties will be a revelation, 

 flowers that will measure three inches in diameter, of many new colors, with beautiful stripes and markings; they need 

 be seen to be appreciated, and ctin be seen at our store almost any day. They are so large and fine that we sold all the 

 flowers we could produce this season at $1 per dozen. We have a large stock of plants that have been specially 

 grown for out-d(X)r culture, and are sure U> give success if treated as directed.
