Much depends on the condi- tion of the plants, on the latitude of the place, whether we wish our flowers earh- or late, and, to some extent, on the weather. The carnation plant can be transplanted from the open ground best when the buds are not greatly developed. This, as a general rule, for, with care, they may be shifted when in full bloom, but this depends greatly on the variety. It has been our practice to so trim our plants as to have a full crop of bloom at Christmas,and to secure this they should not be too forward at the present time.
