CARNATION CULTURE 
Carnations bloom throughout the year—more profusely 
during the warmer months than during the winter. The 
plant will survive outdoor temperature as low as 18 to 20 
degrees though the buds may be frozen. They like full sun- 
light and will tolerate a wide range of soil condition and 
acidity but they must have good drainage. Liberal amount of 
rotted manure is spaded into the soil together with a small 
amount of bone meal in setting out the plants. 
The young plants should be spaced about 12 inches apart 
and should be watered thoroughly after planting. Very wet 
or very dry soil conditions are both detrimental although 
in winter they will stand being kept fairly dry. 
Plants are first topped when they are three or four inches 
high in order to encourage young plants to become bushy 
around the base. Centers of new growths are further topped 
occasionally until a bushy plant is formed. Almost simul- 
taneously with the last topping, the plants should be pro- 
vided with some sort of support. When buds become suf- 
ficiently large, all side buds are removed thus leaving a 
single bud to as 
tem. 
After the final topping, feeding is a year round pro- 
cedure since Carnations are everblooming. A small amount 
of complete fertilizer is recommended for each plant about 
once a month.
