The Carnation is one of the sweetest and prettiest flowers that 
grow. Its fragrant flowers are always sought after, and the rich, 
spicy odor of the Carnation, makes it one of the most desirable plants 
for either indoor or outdoor culture. The ever-blooming varieties 
are admirable for winter flowering in the greenhouse and window 
garden, and are the main dependence of florists for the preparation 
of floral ornaments in the winter. The best way is to obtain young 
plants in the spring and plant them out in the garden. Pinch off the 
tops of the long shoots, and all buds that appear previous to the 
middle of August, so as to form compact plants; after that allow all 
to grow. Take up and pot the plants the latter part of September or 
first of October and remove them to the house. Young plants 15c. 
each; $1.50 per dozen except when noted.

The Coleus is the best and cheapest ornamental plant 
wc have for ornamental bedding in what is called the 
carpet stvle. They will make a bed of which no one 
will have any cau.se to be ashamed. There is such 
an endless variety in their color and marking, that 
with a little tact in planting varieties, the most grat- 
ifying results can be obtained at a trifling cost. Plants 
should be set about a foot apart, so that when the size 
of the bed is known, it is easy to figure how many 
plants are needed of each kind for a row. 10c. each,
