General List of Greenhoilse anil Beddiny Plants. 
CARNATIONS. 
As a summer bedder and winter bloomer, 
the carnation is without a rival. Young 
plants should be planted out in April or 
early May, in good, strong soil. If intended 
for winter blooming, pinch back the young 
growth every four or five weeks to form 
bushy plants until the middle of August. 
In September take up the plants, and when 
potting, give them plenty of drainage. If 
placed in a pit or a light sunshiny window 
with a night temperature not above 60°, 
they will give a profusion of beautiful fra- 
grant blooms all winter.
