60 THE CARNATION. 



A gentleman,, some time a resident in Ftmchal in 

 the island of Madeira., which lies off the north-west 

 coast of Africa, nearly opposite to Mogadore in the 

 kingdom of Morocco, informed me, that Picotees, 

 with yellow grounds, grew in great profusion in 

 most of the gardens in the island, and that the 

 varieties were beautiful; some were plain, others 

 again were marked with red or black spots, and others 

 curiously mottled. 



This flower consists of many varieties : 



Of yellow and purple, both light and dark ; 

 Ditto and dark red, or claret, colour ; 

 Ditto and scarlet ; 



Ditto and pink, and plain yellow of various 

 shades.
