Whe Late Mr. Dodwell.-— Through ths 
1 lamented, though by no means un¬ 
expected death on the 30th ult. of this 
I extraordinary man, Floriculture has lost 
one of its most devoted and enthusi- 
! astic devotees. Mr. Dodwell was, so far 
I as Carnations and Picotees are con¬ 
cerned, perhaps the most earnest of raisers 
and of cultivators in the kingdom. But 
whilst such an intense enthusiast florally, 
and therefore one who might have been 
expected to have a soul full of the spirit 
of his vocation—and so it was—he was one 
of the most contentious of men, but not 
harshly so. It is very doubtful whether 
much of his combativeness was not due to 
! the fact that he was so impatient of the 
slowness of so many of his compeers, whilst 
his soul, as it were, soared aloft into higher 
flights, for he was made to lead, and not to 
be one of the general ruck. 
His book on the Carnation will long live 
as a standard work, and it is due to Mr. 
Dodwell, perhaps more than to any other 
modern florist, that the Carnation has a^ain 
become so wonderfully popular, and so 
widely grown. Of course, the existing wide 
favour shown to the flower is far from 
being all due to the florists ; still to them 
more than to any other class is due the 
existence of so many beautiful hardy bor¬ 
der varieties which have enabled everybody 
who has a garden to have Carnations in 
the summer in abundance. We may some-
