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.

James Douglas's name is inseperable from Carnations; "he has raised them, cultivated them, exhibited them, and written about them." He was also a veteran florist, with a half a century's practical experience.
