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 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 glauc us 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.
