stock is propagatetl. Good cuttings may be ‘had from stocky
cutting-made plants grown o.nly for the purpose of yielding cuttingwood
and not grown on for bloom. The carnation soon deteriorates
if care is not taken to select from the best parents. Fig. 116.
In Europe, the carnation is also propagated by layering, which
should be done at the end of July or the beginning of August. The
slroot,s selected should be denuded of a few of their leaves at the
base of the young wood, and a slit must be made from this point
upwards, extending through a joint of the bare stem, so that a
tongue is formed. Figs. 63, 69.
The outdoor harcly carnation is grown in the same way as pinks.
See Dimthus.
Carpinus (Hornbeam. Blue Beech). Bctuluceae.
Propagated by seeds sown usually in fall, which germinate
irregularly. If the seed-bed is kept moist and clean (covered wit.11
moss or other material) through the entire season, the remaining
seeds may be espectecl t.o germinate the second spring. Varieties
propagated by budding or grafting on seedling st,ocks, either under
glass in spring on potted stock or in t.he open in summer.

Raised from seeds sown clirectly in the open, or started under
glass. The common C. tilrctorircs is a garden annual.
