CARNATION PINKS. 
S ARNATTON PINKS, next to Roses, are the most popular 
flowers grown. Young plants should be procured in April or 
May, and he sure that they are young plants, no matter how insig- 
nificant they may look, for large plants are ones that have been 
bloomed all Winter, and are comparatively worthless. Carnations 
are quite hardy, and should be planted as early as possible, just as 
soon as the ground is in condition to work. The soil should be 
quite rich, well manured with thoroughly rotted manure, or, if not 
to be had, hone dust may be used to a good .advantage. To have a 
beautiful bed of Pinks in the Fall, the plants should be set out 
about eight inches apart each way; as the plants grow, they should 
be “stopped,” that is, when the shoots of growth become six inches 
long, they should have the points pinched "out. The operation 
should be continued until the 1st of July, when it must be discon- 
tinued if (lowers are wished in August. Price 10 cents each, four- 
teen for $1.00, purchaser’s selection. Our selection, by mail, sixteen 
for $1.00; by express, eighteen for $1.00.
