DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt 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.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Carnations, Picotees, and the Wild and Garden Pinks This little volume is a companion to "Sweet Violets and Pansies," which formed the first of the smaller gardening books in the " Country Life" Library. It has been written at the request of many readers of Country Life and The Garden, and it is to be hoped that the ripe experience of the contributors to its pages, and the simple directions for the growing of the Carnation, Picotee, and the beautiful wild Pinks, will have their value. The brave masses of old Clove Carnations in the gardens of our forbears, the sweet drifts of white Pinks, and the warm fragrance scenting the summer air, are pleasant reminiscences. With a greater choice of varieties, the Carnation has developed in interest and popularity, and a garden is not a garden that is without the silvery tufts of growth which have a quiet beauty even in winter days, when we are wise enough to group them with grey-leaved shrubs, such as Rosemary and Lavender. Although Pinks and Carnations are welcome in so many ways of gardening, perhaps their greatest use, other than in wall and rockwork, is as edgings and underplantings to Roses, or something of taller stature than their own.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKUnlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt 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.
