Unlike 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.

Excerpt from Carnations and Pinks 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 Carna tions as Dean Hole's from Roses. He has raised them, cultivated them, exhibited them, and written about them.
