carnations. The named sorts of Carnations are now so very 
numerous that it has been found necessary to divide them 
into classes, as is done with the Pansies. We can only give a few 
ill ustrative names in each group. Bizarres have a clear ground, variously 
marked with the colour denoting the section, and with other colours in 
lesser degree.
