CARYOPHYLLEZ. 
* Herbaceous perennial. Flowers large, aggregate. Leaves 
broadish-lanceolate. 
9 D. parsa'tus (Lin. spec. 586.) flowers aggregate, in bun- 
dles; calycine scales ovate-aw]-shaped, equal in length to the 
tube; petals bearded ; leaves lanceolate, nerved. Y.H. Na- 
tive of the South of France and Germany in gravelly or sandy 
places. Flowers very variable in colour, from dark purple to 
white or variegated or speckled, single and double. 
Sweet-William is a very old inhabitant of the gardens, and 
was very much esteemed in the time of Gerarde for its beauty, 
to deck up the bosoms of the beautiful, and garlands and crowns 
for pleasure. The varieties are endless, but as the plant has never 
been treated as a leading florist’s flower, they have not been 
hamed or improved. A hybrid variety called the mule or Fair- 
child’s Sweet-William is supposed to be produced from the seeds 
of the carnation impregnated with Sweet- William, but we think 
it more likely to be the double variety of D. Poiretianus.
