C. H. MIDDLETON
This evening Mr. Middleton is to bring to the microphone Mr. M. C. Allwood to talk on carnations. Mr. Allwood is probably the greatest living authority on this popular flower, and has devoted the whole of his life to its development and improvement.
In addition to raising a great many fine new carnations, he has produced a whole series of wonderful hybrids, including Dianthus Sweet Wivelsfield, a cross between the sweet william and the pink ; also Dianthus Allwoodii, which combines the best qualities of pink and carnation.
His classic work, ' Carnations and all
Dianthus ', is generally accepted as the standard text-book on the subject.
