Présentation de l'éditeur
Carnation, we at least know that it was first loved in this country as a border flower. For four centuries the border varieties have been cultivated with increasing enthusiasm and in greater numbers. As compared with such a history, the Perpetual-F lowering andS ouvenir de laM almaison types may be regarded almost as newcomers. At the same time, these more recent acquisitions have increased the popularity of the flower throughout the length and breadth of the land. They may not be superior to theO ld Clove Carnation or the Picotees, but they have characteristics that perfectly separate them from the older strains, and their cultivation is under glass rather than out-of-doors. When it is added that the perpetual-flowering sorts provide one of the brightest floral effects in the winter season, it is easily understood that, in present-day gardening, the Carnation appeals to a greater number of people than at any time in its history. 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 Carnations as Dean Hole sfrom Roses. He has raised them, cultivated them, exhibited them, and written about them.

Présentation de l'éditeur
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
