CULTURE 
Carnations will do well in a wide range of soil conditions. Three parts loam to one part 
rotted manure with a little bone meal added makes a good mixture. Good drainage is abso- 
lutely necessary and they enjoy a sunny location. Keep plants pinched back until many shoots 
have developed from the base of the plants. To produce large flowers, disbud so that only 
one bud remains on each stem.
