Book Description
Traces a thorough history of Dianthus species, covering in turn the charming pinks and their cultivars, carnations and border carnations, Malmaison carnations shaped like Bourbon roses, and the fabulously gaudy and sometimes intricately patterned perpetual-flowering carnations. Later chapters cover cultivation, commercial production, pests and disease, breeding, and exhibition. Includes several appendices including a monthly reminder calendar and resources. c.

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.
