CARNATIONS AND PICOTEES. 
CARNATIONS. 
Also see Novelties. Carnations and 
picotees belong in the flower group 
known as Dianthus Caryophillis. Pico- 
tees are carnetions with white flowers, 
trimmed or spotted or edged with some 
other color. The so-called carnations 
have within recent decades developed 
into types of rare beauty and fragrance. 
The Marguerite carnations are among 
the best of the class. Most of the carna- 
tions are quite hardy, surviving the 
winter if given a slight protection. No 
flowers are more lovely. Seeds sown 
thinly in the open ground, in spring, 
will bloom the first season.
