BRIEF SUMMARY OF SALIENT POINTS 
1, Always purchase named varieties from a reliable nursery 
or Carnation specialist. 
2. Soil must be sweet and not acid. 
3. Plant about 18 inches apart, if possible. 
4. Do not plant too deeply, only to the depth of the orig- 
inal soil in which they have been potted. 
5. Select a spot where the carnations will have full sun, or 
at least one half day sun. 
6. Do not plant them under trees, or next to a hedge. 
7. Drop a tablespoonful of bone meal in each hole before 
planting. 
8. Do not use leaf mold or peat moss in the bed. 
9. Do not have the soil too rich with steer or other animal 
fertilizer. 
10. Do not feed carnations any acid foods. 
11. Plants should be irrigated instead of overhead watering. 
12. Do not keep them too wet or too dry, a middle condition 
is needed. 
13. Carnations must be supported, wire holders being pre- 
ferable, not only for correct air circulation, but for easy 
handling.
