There were no finer geraniums in all Grasmere than Barlow's, no bigger carnations or picotees, asters or arums.

Crimson Rhexias, called by the inhabitants Deer-Weed, were distributed among the grassy knolls, like clusters of Picotees.

These are divided into three classes, but they are all said originally to come from the clove: (1) Flakes, which are striped with one colour and white; (2) Bizarres, those streaked with two colours and white; (3) Picotees, which have each petal margined with colour on a white or yellow ground, or dotted with small spots.

The genus embraces Carnations, Pinks, Picotees, and Sweet Williams.
