In Great Britain, or at least the less favoured portions as to climate, it is, however, perhaps best to cultivate the plants wholly under glass. Under the protection of a thoroughly ventilated pit, the shoots, while they do not become etiolated, are without a doubt kept free from such diseases as spot and rust, the only drawback being the repeated assaults of green fly, which must be determinedly met and repulsed. Another reason why Tree Carnations are best grown wholly in glass structures is the very important one that the plants bloom with more regularity during winter than those not so favoured, and which sometimes fail to bloom until the winter and early spring has passed away. Named varieties are almost wholly propagated during the three first months of the year by means of cuttings, later than which the plants have too little time to grow into a serviceable size. Under favourable conditions the cuttings produce roots with much facility and with few losses, the most important factor governing the success of the operation undoubtedly being the condition of the cuttings themselves; those, the shoots of plants grown in too high a temperature and insufficiently ventilated, or any infected by eelworm or rust being almost certain to fail. On the other hand, shoots from plants grown in light airy positions, and in a temperature of about fifty-five degrees, possess the conditions that render rapid root emission certain.
