description: Traces a thorough history of Dianthus species, covering in turn the charming pinks and their cultivars, carnations and border carnations, Malmaison carnations shaped like Bourbon roses, and the fabulously gaudy and sometimes intricately patterned perpetual-flowering carnations. Later chapters cover cultivation, commercial production, pests and disease, breeding, and exhibition. Includes several appendices including a monthly reminder calendar and resources.
