Kifcficr, Pfoprictor, Attica, Ind, cheap during April and May is all the more reason why you should get all the quality you can during that time. When carnations are being offered at low prices on all sides, it is the man with the extl-a quality who gets rid of his cut. Keeping Up the Quality. While you are disbudding, do not forget to see that the plants are be- ing kept growing upright. The spring growth will get away from you quickly unless you keep putting the shoots into their proper places. It is difficult to do this after they reach any length, as they are brittle and easily broken. This is one of the cases where "a stitch in time saves ; In a recent article of this series I spoke of the need of light shading to keep up the quality during hot weather. The last few days have been exceed- ingly hard on the pink varieties, bleaching the rose-pinks badly. One is almost tempted to apply a light shade to save the color, but it would be unwise to apply a shade this early, as it would have much the same effect on the plants as the dark weather of the wjnter. If the bright weather con- tinues, the pink shades will gradually adapt themselves to the stronger light and the bleaching will not be so se- rious. There is perhaps no prettier shade of pink than the hue that Bose- pink Enchantress taKes on during June. Pick your blooms a little more closely for a time, and you will avoid much of the bleaching.
