Synopsis
Excerpt from Market Nursery Work, Vol. 4: A Series of Six Books, on the Cultivation, of Crops for Market
Though not, strictly speaking, a twentieth century creation, the greatest strides have been made since the year 1900, and it certainly has become to all intents and purposes the flower of the century. It is, therefore, only as yet in its infancy, and we may be fully assured that the future will see further developments and great improvements, such as we are hardly aware of. It has behind it a small army of devoted enthusiasts experimenting, fostering, improving, and Studying it, and as it owes much to them in the past, so it will be through their efforts that progress will be maintained.
But behind these enthusiasts lies another great forcing power, and this is the intrinsic merits of the flower as a flower, its great popularity, and its indispensability. Carnations all the year round in great quality and abundance is now quite common place; is, indeed, expected, and the market grower who, having the facilities, takes it up in a fairly large way, has a satisfactory prospect before him and assured returns practically the whole year round.
This latter point may be questioned, but we have in mind the fact that the perpetual flowering carnation is indeed perpetual, for it can be quite satisfactorily grown in beds in the Open ground.
