Young Carnations are ideally handled either by placing the 
bands directly in the bench or in flats (inset). The flat 
method has the adyantage of one less handling in getting the 
plants into the field and in enabling the grower to use vacant

Carnation growers.

soil than a pot of equal size—no root binding e Uniform 
moisture; close fitting wood bands dry out less rapidly
