> Carnation in Tusser's references refers to the colour of the flower 
rather
>than a plant.  The large modern carnation  is related to the pinks or
>dianthus  and may not be within period (hedging 'cuz I have no books 
with
>me today)

>From what I remember from hanging out in my Grandfather's flower shop as 
a kid, carnations are the domesticated versions of pinks. Bigger flower 
head, longer stem...
