CARNATIONS MADE SAFE AGAINST WIREWORM, AND ALSO 
VIGOROUS AND DOUBLY SATISFACTORY. 
Again, out of the many thousands of plants we grow, not one was lost during the last two seasons ; a 
teaspoonful of our Manure, mixed with six times -the quantity of soil, and a like quantity of soot, not only 
keeps them free and safe all the season against this pest, but adds double vigour to the plants, makes the 
blooms considerably larger, and produced in greater quantity, and intensity of colour much increased. No 
one should ever fail to sprinkle some, and round every plant immediately after planting ; it not only entirely 
keeps the pest away, but it makes the grass a lovely glaucous green. All would admire your Carnations, and 
everybody would be proud of their plants grown in pots. Should be used once a month ; by strictly attending 
to this, the flowers would be double in ijuantity and of a larger size;
