THE QUEEN’S CORONATION BOUQUET.
Mr. 11. W. Weguelin, writing to “The Gardener,” states that the vexed question as to what carnations will •comprise the Queen's bouquet, has been determined and all the misstatements about American varieties having been selected are incorrect. The variety selected iby Queen Mary was “The Lady Hennoine,” a thoroughly typical English carnation of the very highest quality, raised by the late Martin K. Smith. It is of a beautiful pink colour, delightfully scented, and in every respect what a carnation ought to be. This information is official.
