About this time a revolution in outdoor gardening 
occurred, and the evolution of the yellow-ground 
Picotee, as indeed of any Picotee, was set back. The 
craze for summer bedding, which spread like wild

hardy flowers to be despoiled of their erstwhile 
occupants to make way for much more tender exotics

fine named Carnations had to make way for 
Pelargoniums, Calceolarias, and Coleus. Some 
gardeners were satisfied with the Old Clove, which 
was used as an edging to the Dahlia border, while 
many gardens possessed not a single Carnation.
