Field-Grown ... Hardy Rugged Plants 
Cultural Directions for Carnations 
Easy to Grow if These Simple Rules are Followed 
Preparation of Soil 
Though Carnations will tolerate a wide range of soil structure 
and acidity, the average home gardener will find a medium 
texture loam in a raised or banked bed as most satisfactory. 
The reason for the raised bed is to insure good drainage at all 
times because Carnations dislike soggy condition. A liberal 
amount of bone meal and well rotted steer manure is spaded into 
the soil before plants are set out. To counteract extreme acidity, 
which is unfavorable for healthy growth in Carnations, a light 
sprinkling of agricultural lime or wood ash would be beneficial. 
Treatment of Purchased Plants 
In order to reduce to a minimum, if not to eliminate entirely, 
any loss of plants sustained by our customers after shipment is 
received, our Garden will ship pre-hardened established plants 
in newly processed ‘'Vita-bands.’”” These plants are first rooted in 
propagating sand, then transplanted into individual plant bands. 
The plants are then kept for a minimum period of three weeks in 
open air, allowing them to be hardened and established suffi- 
ciently in bands to stand any type of long distance shipment.
