Mr. Montagu Allwood has written an important work on carnations.

The President of the Royal Horticultural Society says in his preface that all lovers of this delightful flower will benefit by the book : we cordially agree with Lord La mbourne. Mr. Allwood has more than thirty years' experience of his subject, and has treated it practically and comprehensively, as one would expect, but also with a pleasant and infectious enthusiasm. Spectator readers who love their gardens will love this book. (Carnations for Every Garden and Greenhouse. Country Life. 12s. 6d.)
