THE Committee of the N ational Carnation an d Picotee Society (Southern Section) feel that no apology is needed for the issue of this little ‘ a a the a the a a M nu l upon cultiv tion of C rn tion , the improvement an d development Of which is e e a the sole purpos of th ir incorpor tion . They are aware that other works Of much authority an d literary value have been published the a e e e e e e a on s m subj ct, but th y b li v th t in none has the general information required by the amateur been presented in so simple an d usef ul a e form as in the pres nt work . In it will be found papers from some of the most successful growers Of the da e a in the e e y, d t il g m thods pursu d by them from the first impregn ation of the seed - pod to the final staging of the flowers upon the Xh i i on a E ib t t bles . The Committee trust that the information given will go far to remove the impression now generally held that the cultivation Of the Car a a difficulti es w n tion presents unusu l .

The great increase of notic e an d popularity which has been of late years bestowed upon these flowers encourages the Committee to anticipat e a a e e e the ea a e an d r pid d v lopm nt of b uty , v ri ty , a e a an d en d e h rdin ss of its m ny forms , to this th y are extremely anxious to encourage the raising of ee l la s d ing p nts .
