CARNATIONS 
Carnations are one of the most beautiful and useful flowers 
you can grow in your garden. Their bright colors, spicy frag- 
rance and long flowering period have won for them a place in 
the hearts of all garden lovers. As the result of careful cross- 
breeding many new shades have been added to the color range. 
CULTURE: Carnations will grow in any good, well-drained 
light soil. Should your soil be of the adobe clay type, remove 
this to a depth of 8 to 10 inches and fill in with light sandy 
loam. Another popular way to handle them is to raise the 
beds 6 or 8 inches and fill with good sandy loam to which a 
generous helping of leafmold and well rotted cow manure has 
been added.
