Context

Administrative/Biographical history:

The Enfield and District Carnation Society was founded in 1946. Its members exhibited all types of pinks, carnations and other members of the Dianthus family at local shows. The Society organised two shows a year, and also arranged a programme of speakers at meetings and outings. It was affiliated to the Royal Horticultural Society and to the British National Carnation Society. The Society was wound up in June 1977 due to falling numbers.
