Ware of the Cottage ('.aniens Co., (.Jueens, L. 1 , has nanieil his latest variety' of carnation Mrs. Tom Harvey. The color is cerise, the flowers about three inches across, finely forincd and very fragrant. Notes In Season. The young carnation stock, intended for the coming season's planting, needs particular attention from this time on. Any cuttings still in the sand should be potted up as soon as ready; they require closer watching as regards shading and watering than a few weeks ago, owing to the days being brighter and the in- creased ventilation necessary causing a drier atmosphere. This is particularly the case on those places where a bench in a house where flowering plants are still growing is used to carry the young plants. The air required for the old stock is too much for newly potted young plants before they have taken a firm hold of the new soil. Those that were propagated earlier will need careful watching as regards pinching the tops out to allow them to break; this is an important point in working up the new stock. Many grow- ers dififer about the number of joints to leave in carrying out the operation. We prefer pinching back to three or four clean joints, which allows the plants to break freely and insures a sturdy plant. Watering is another operation where care and judgment is necessary; it is very seldom that a bench of young plants will all need watering at the same time, and the proper way is to thor- oughly examine the plants, watering only those that are in need of it.
