SATURDAY, JULY 8 th, 1893. 
Whe National Carnation Society.— 
We may remind our readers that 
owing to the exigences of the early season 
the usual Southern Show of the National 
Carnation and Picotee Society,®fwill be 
held next Tuesday at Chiswick, instead of 
on the 25th, at the Drill Hall. The arrange¬ 
ment is a specially acceptable one as it will 
enable visitors to enjoy the Carnations so 
much more agreeably under the Chiswick 
tents, and at the same time permit them to 
enjoy a perambulation round the famous 
old garden. Carnations are universally 
early this season, indeed in many places 
they have been blooming a long time, and 
not a few would probably say that even the 
nth is rather late. 
However, as the finest show flowers are 
usually produced on pot plants, and these 
can have cool situations, we may well hope 
that the usually fine, bright character of 
what is just now perhaps the most popular 
of flowers will not be found deteriorated. 
As to border flowers they have been held 
somewhat in check by the cooler weather 
which for a few days prevailed, and the 
showers have rendered good service. 
The revival of the Carnation as a popular 
flower without doubt owes much to the 
efforts of Mr. Dodwell and the National 
Society in making it known through the 
aid of exhibitions. These again, have had 
a good effect in other directions in stimu¬ 
lating criticism. The public mind has been 
in this way attracted, with the result that 
now we see Carnations growing eveiy where, 
and varieties both suited for exhibition and 
for ordinary garden decoration have been 
produced in great abundance. We shall 
hope to see a beautifulshow of the Carna-
