Extra pains must now be exercised when watering to prevent the plant get- ting wet while doing it. Water the soil only as it requires it. Sometimes the beds will run three or four days without needing any water excepting a few places near the steam pipes and along the edges. Which naturally dry out faster than the center. All extra staking or wiring needed should be done at once before the plants get into heavy crops. Also, re- move any dead foliage left on the plants. Disbudding should be attended to regu- larly as soon as the side buds become large enough to properly handle without damaging the main one. Also, while dis- budding, remove the side shoots far enough down so as to be able to cut the blooms with a good long stem. Mix up some lime and sulphur with water and paint some strips of about three feet long at intervals of six feet apart along one of the steam pipes in each house. Also, attend to the fumi- gating regularly every week to keep the green fly in check. The fall exhibitions will be on in a week or two, and carna- tions, being a bigteatureat most of these shows, all of us are tempted to feed up a bit to win a few prizes, but unless extra judgment is used in feeding at this stage of the plant growth the premiums won will not pay up for the soft, weakened condition of the plants resulting from the plants bein
