TRIGYNIA. 
History, Use, Propagation, Culture, 
each class there are numerous varieties, arranged under the farther subdivisions of scarlet flake, pink flake, 
purple flake, yellow flake, &c. ; scarlet bizarre, crimson bizarre, &c. ; and purple picotee, yellow picotee, &c. 
Picotees are rather smaller flowers than carnations, and are distinguished by the serrated margins of their 
petals ; the colors are principally yellow and white spotted, and the plants are considered hardier than the 
other sorts. Whatever colors the flower may be possessed of, they should be perfectly distinct, and disposed in 
long regular stripes, broadest at the edge of the lamina, and gradually becoming narrower as they approach 
the unguis, or base of the petal, there terminating in a fine point. Each petal should have a due proportion 
of white, i. e. one half, or nearly so, which should be perfectly clear and free from spots. Bizarres, or such as 
contain two colors upon a white ground, are esteemed rather preferable to flakes, which have but one, 
especially when their colors are remarkably rich, and very regularly distributed. Scarlet, purple, and pink 
are the three colors most predominant in the carnation ; the two first are seldom to be met with in the same 
flower, but the two last are very frequently. 
New varieties are procured from seeds, and thousands of seedlings are annually blown by florists and 
amateurs, sometimes without one being found worth keeping. Established or approved varieties are con- 
tinued by layering and cuttings, or, as they are commonly called, pipings. The soil in which the carnation 
thrives best is a rich loam rather sandy than otherwise ; the climate should be free from extremes of every kind, 
for which reason they are commonly grown in pots, and protected by a frame during winter, and covered by 
an awning while in bloom. Carnations grow exceedingly well in beds of properly prepared soil, over which 
frames are placed in winter, and an awning of canvass or bunting when the plants are in blossom. Those who 
are curious in blowing their carnations ha\ e a great many nice and curious operations to perform when they 
come into flower. Such petals as are plain, or run from the proper colors of the variety, are extracted by a 
particular instrument ; the remaining petals are next arranged so as to form a convex imbricated surface ; 
the calyx being slit down or tied up as may be necessary to aid this end. Then the flowerstalks are neatly 
tied to sticks, and the flower supported in a pendant attitude by means of properly formed brass wires.
