DIANTHUS. 
style of D. silvestris, but with smaller flowers. It has also a short-leaved 
form, by the name of D. Marchesetiv. 
D. toletanus makes 8-inch stems and bears two or three blooms to 
a head—intensely purple, with toothed petals and blue-grey leaves.

. aylorrhizos makes its woody roots in the rocks of Paleokastro 
in Crete ; a stout and handsome species with tortuous trunks, and many 
stems flopping and hanging. The leaves are smooth and long and 
weak, the flowers large and whitish. 
D. zonatus (D. oculatus) ends the list condignly, a beautiful matted 
Pink of glaucous foliage, with countless erect and often shortly branch- 
ing stems carrying abundance of magnificent rosy flowers, of full 
outline and sharp toothing to the petals, which are bearded at the 
throat, and marked with a deep zone of crimson velvet. The calyx 
is striped and usually toothed with purple, and the colour, of 
course, varies to white. Al!l single Pinks have a way, in catalogues, 
of abusing the specific name of D. zonaius.

HYBRID PINKS 
Of these there is now no end. D.» Pritchardii is a « novelty ” for 
which large sums are asked, but on which no excessive regard need be 
lavished, for it is no such remarkable improvement on D. deltoeides. 
D. Spencer Bickham, however, is a most startling tufted thing with 
abundance of stiff little 6-inch stems, that have big blossoms sharply, 
deeply toothed, and in colour are of virulent magenta rose. D.x 
Coedcoch (named after the place, presumably, where it first saw the 
light, rather than according to the noise made by him who himself 
first sees it), is not what such a jargon would announce, but reported a 
neat thing, of well-orbed and of especial beauty. D. oentpontanus and 
D. calaipinus have both had their share of notice, but D. caesius x 
squarrosus is 2 good if not immortal hybrid, making a bush of neat 
broad green foliage, set all over, all the summer through, with flowers
