Extra Plants to Fill Blanks. After you have finished benching the carnations, about the first thing vou want to do is to pot up a few plants to be used for replacing those that die here and there. Even though you may have excellent success with your newly planted stock, you will be almost certain to lose a few plants. The extra plants should be potted immediately after the completion of the benching, so they will not be too far behind those in the benches when the replanting is done, else the newly set plants will be so crowded by the earlier established plants as to make tli«pi practically worthless. A plant that is well estab- lished in a pot can be transferred to the bench without any check, and if this is done within a month after the bench is planted it will stand an equal chance with the rest. ' We pot into 3-inch pots if the roots will allow; otherwise 4-inch pots are used. The smaller the pot, the sooner the plant will be ready to transfer to the lench.
