Delicate experiments arc now on
in the greenhouses at the university
of Nebraska , under the supervision
of Professor Emerson , of the Do-
partmort of Horticulture of that
institution , iu the creation of new
varieties of carnations by the cross
ing aud propagation of the old
standard plants which they have on
hand , with newer and more delicate
varieties. The mothul of doing
this is quito novel , aud there is
quite u little speculation as to what
the outcome of the experiments will
bo , The buds of one plant are
fertilized by others , and iu this way
a graft is made. Some of the ordi
nary hardy pinks are used in these
experiments , aud some valuable
varieties of carnations are expected
to bo the outcome of those investi
gations.
