Carnations made perfectly 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 four times the quantity of 
soil, 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 
this 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 quality of this family would be immense.

Carnations. 
THE BEST STANDING VARIETIES IN CULTIVATION. 
Yes, lovely Carnations! No matter who, all like this flower; yet how seldom we see them 
in gardens! If once planted in ordinary ground they will grow. Cut out the dower-spike in 
August, cut a slit half-wav through the wood of the side shoots, two inches under the lowest leaf 
bearing the cut, dividing and replanting in good well-dug ground any time before Christmas, and 
another year’s fine bloom is almost a certainty. For exhibition, they have to be planted in 
8 or 9-inr.h pots, and placed under glass when in flower ; their almost only enemy is wireworm, 
which must be destroyed. Good varieties, 9s. per dozen and upwards, our selection.
