GREENHOUSE, TREE, OR WINTER-FLOWERING 
CARNATIONS. 
f UESE are now greatly sought after in consequence of so many being used all through the 
winter season in bouquets and buttonholes ; and in New York, it appears, they are even more

for they recjuire just the same treatment, excepting liquid manure, which must be applied more 
sparingly.
