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.

Excerpt 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.
