PICOTEES
Ticotees are only distinguished from tarnations by the markings of their flowers. The petals of a carnation flower, other than a self, are either flaked or baned, whereas those of a picotee have a ground colour and are edged with a second colour, which is used to separate the varieties into the following divisions: —Heavy purple edged, red edged, rose edged, light purple edged, red edged and rose edged, and yellow grounds. Ihe flowers are of perfect shape and very distinct, and are most attractive as exhibition flowers. They are propagated in the luroe way as the border carnation.
