Of course, many are stable enough in raisers of new seedling Carnations send their most prom-ising kinds to be cultivated in the trial grounds at Chiswick,side by side with those of established reputation. Theseare examined annually by a committee of experts, whoaward marks or certificates to the best. The list of cer-tificated new kinds is published in the Journal of the RoyalHorticultural Society, and in this way growers are madeacquainted with the best new seedlings as tried at Chis-wick. The e
