CARNATIONS FOR SUMMER BLOOM. Ed. Am Florist:—Being a beginner at carnation growing, please to advise me if it is best to grow carnations in the field for summer cut flowers and rest or renew the soil in the benches. Can I buy plants ready to put out in the field to produce summer flowers? How large should they be ? How often and with what should they be stimulated? W. F. S. Carnations for summer blooming had better be grown in the field. To have the best success one should have plants from 3inch or 4 inch pots, with a num- ber of branches well started by the time they are to be planted out. Such plants are pretty hard to buy but probably they can be secured through an adver- tisement. For outdoor blooming there is little danger of giving them too much in the way of manure, but if phosphates are used they should be applied very care- fully, as adry spell of weather with much phosphate in the soil will mean stunted and worse than starved plants. In some cases it is not necessary to renew the soil in the benches every season btit it is always safer to have the old soil all taken otit and freih put in. Albbrt M. Herr. CARNATIONS IN MINNESOT
