HORTICULTURE! 



423; 



London). If we except the "Book of 

 Cut Flowors, ' briePy reviewed in one 

 of our foimrr articles, tlieie lias been, 

 practically speaking, little or nothing 

 published for many years in English 

 on the art of floial decoration. French 

 and German authorities, however. 

 have not been unmindful of this im- 

 portant industry, and most of the 

 modern books have been penned by 

 foreign writers. As we have more 

 than once before observed, being pub- 

 lished by the Country Life Library, 

 the style and get-up generally are of 

 the very best, the floral illustrations, 

 about 60 in number, being delightful 

 specimens of the most artistic photo- 

 graphic engravings one could possibly 

 wish to see in book illustrations. The 

 contents include outdoor flowers and 

 foliage November to February. March, 

 right through the year to October. 

 Then room and conservatory decora ■ 

 tion. vases, dinner tables, wild flowers 

 in the house, come in for a share of 

 her attention. In many cases the re- 

 ceptacles for the flowers are well 

 shov n and appropriately chosen, while 

 many of her floial compositions are 

 such as should bring about a change in 

 the tables of some of our exhibitions, 

 where persons who consider them- 

 selves to be persons of a refined and 

 cultural taste are apt to display their 

 productions. 



The Modern Carnation: How to grow 

 and show it by Haywai d Mathias and 

 P. Smith (Horticultural Printing Co., 

 Burnleyi. This is intended as an 

 Amateur's and Exhibtor's guide to the 

 culture of the flower upon which it 

 treats. It is plainly got up and con- 

 tains a few illustrations explanatory 

 of the text. On the question of "dress- 

 ing" our authors have something lo 

 say that would appeal very strongly to 

 some of our carnation and picotee 

 growers for show of a past generation 

 and with which we are in close accord. 

 The advocates of showing flowers as 

 grown are generally persons who have 

 no idea of what a florist's flower is and 

 to whom any colored rag, it bright 

 enough, at the end of a bit of stem is 

 a flower. Florists' flowers for exhi- 

 bition are not field flowers like butter- 

 cups and daisies but the work of ar- 

 dent souls who have an idea before 

 them.
