. The Book of gardening; a handbook of horticulture. Gardening; Horticulture. T^—On Florists* By James Douglas, Flowers. By common consent the favourite plants of our gardens have been designated "Florists' Flowers, " and for very many years they have been known as such. The most beautiful, and of highest value amongst them, are the Rose, Chrysanthemum, Carnation, Pink, Auricula, Pansy, Viola, Tulip, Dahlia, Hollyhock, Ranunculus, Polyanthus, and Gladiolus. Some, like the Viola, are of modern conception; others, like the Carnation, Auricula, Tulip, &c, have graced our gardens for over three-hundred years. By careful selection and cross-fertilisation all of them have attained a high standard of excellence. The work of improve- ment has been going on for many generations of amateurs. For instance, we have a very definite account of the Carnation in "The Historie of Plants, " published by John Gerard, in 1598. This worthy florist cultivated the Clove and the Great Double Carnation, and he informs us that the first yellow Carnation was procured from Poland, and grown in his own garden. Doubtless, he would speedily raise new varieties from seed, and the yellow Carnation has been going through a course of improvement since that time. In these days the florist has a standard of excellence in his mind, and by cross-fertilising the best varieties, and by careful attention to minute details, he effects some improvement in the colour or in the form of the flowers' of his iavourit.es. Some excellent work has been done by men in rorrfparatively humble.
