PROPOSED CARNATION SHOW.

TO THE EDETOK. , Sir,—The carnation has of late yesr* ' come exceedingly popular among flow growers, as in addition to its esceOent qtc ties of being; free flowering and vcrr *ff«*i both when growing and when cot lor decs live purposes, it is of coroparsirvelj' «B*y r ,t tore. Many carnation enthusiasts here I possess typical coUectioss, and I undeisti that the Committee of tho Ihmedm Ho cultural Society, if sufficient promises of si port ore forthcoming, are prepared tr»range a special carnation show. Conqx tiocs are already provided for in the delay's mpxwnw (December) show andaatg (&axch} sbow but unfortenai these months' represent only the begirmi and the end of the carnadon-bkwtmng a son, and so th" charming flower is ne> seen at its best at the society's shows. 1 date of the proposed show would accrmßm be- fixed for, say, the end of January, a in addition to carnations (which could shown singly or in half-doxeas ox is bow vases, or sprays), the late flowering vanet of roses (mcfadimj tho chaster rosee) a any seasonable novelties would xmtks a p tiexmuiy attractive ItiilD sham. The Cba or other suitable ball would prove of so dent size to make- tbo display compact, « at a correspondingly reduced charge, for j mission it should easily prove serf-sappa ing. I would therefore suggest that. % Committee at once invite by advertzseme all willing to support this sbow by pratnb of exhibits to comraumcate with the see tary of iho society on or before Friday, D camber 28. Trusting this will bo taken ■ -with erdbusiaan —lao, etc-. Boeanu. December IS.
