Book Description
Excerpt from Carnations, Picotees and Pinks: Second And; Revised Edition A new work concerning the Carnation needs no apology. Manuals have been written in the past about the same beautiful flower, but during recent years many varieties have been raised, and new groups formed, to give interest to the family of which the pretty Dianthus Caryophyllus, happy in its crevices of the lichen-stained castle wall, is the ancestor. The Carnation must play its rightful part in the garden, and not be relegated to the greenhouse, to yield its flowers merely for general or personal decoration. It is a great garden flower, faulty in some ways, perhaps, but with faults that the raisers of the future must correct. Poor colours, split flowers, absence of perfume, and weakly growth are not desirable attributes. If this work should kindle still greater enthusiasm for the Carnation, rich in its varied colouring and as sweet as the rose itself in fragrance, it will not have been written in vain.

Book Description
Excerpt from Select Carnations, Picotees, Pinks It is safe to say that the Carnation has been cultivated in this country for four hundred years, and during that period it has been continuously cared for by man, while during intermittent periods it has enjoyed a great wave of popularity; but at no stage of its history has it been more extensively cultivated in the four quarters of the globe than at present. Few flowers have undergone more extensive modification at the hands of the florist, and fewer have entered more deeply into the hearts of the people. During the past decade and a half its cultivation has extended by leaps and bounds, both in this country and in America. Indeed in these countries it is considered second only to the Rose in popular favour, and some enthusiasts are of opinion that it will presently be more popular even than that old time favourite. This seems but a repetition of the opinion of the father of floriculture, John Gerard, who in 1597 said of the Carnation that it "may be thought not inferior to the Rose in beauty, smell, and varietie." Never were the sections, nor the varieties more numerous than at the present day. The sections which have come into marked prominence during the past decade and a half are border Carnations, yellow Carnations, and Picotees, American Carnations and Malmaisons, which are still in the full tide of ascendancy.

Book Description
Excerpt from Carnations and Pinks As a recognition of the distinctness of the Carnation groups, I besought the co-operation of the present authors in the writing of this volume. They need no introduction. The name of Mr. Douglas is as inseparable from Carna tions as Dean Hole's from Roses. He has raised them, cultivated them, exhibited them, and written about them.
