PIN PILLAR 



672 



PINUS 



a Pink is rough outside and inside, with a portion of 

 white outside the lacing, as if a band of colour had been 

 laid on ; besides this, there is colour at the base of 

 every petal, and, perhaps, one- third of the distance along 

 the petal, so that it forms an eye, or centre, of colour, 

 which is peculiar to itself, and which never occurs in 

 the Carnation or Picotee. A Pink, without its lacing 

 all round each petal, and its narrow strip of white out- 

 side it, would be worthless as a show-flower. The more 

 distinct this lacing is, the better ; it should look like an 

 even piece of embroidery, just fairly within the outer 

 edge of the white. 



The Pink may be propagated and cultivated in every 

 respect similarly to the Carnation. Pipings of it are 

 best made at the end of May, or early in June. 



Growing in Beds. By the middle of August Pinks are 

 all gone out of flower, except perpetual-flowering, decora- 

 tive varieties. The old plants are of little use to the 

 florist, as they seldom produce the second year first-rate 

 bloom ; but for ornamenting the border they are 

 valuable. Remove them out of the bed ; trim off all 

 dead flower-stems ; and plant them in the borders of 

 the garden rather deeper than they have been before. 

 They will make fresh roots higher up the stems, and form 

 close compact bushes, producing the next season abund- 

 ance of flowers. If it is intended to grow Pinks again 

 in the same bed, the soil ought to be taken out a foot 

 deep, and renewed with fresh loam and very rotten 

 stable-dung, in the proportion of three of the first to 

 one of the latter, turning it over frequently to thoroughly 

 mix and sweeten it. This should be done by the third 

 week of August. Raise the bed 6 inches above the soil 

 around, and form it like a low-ridded roof. The 

 compost should be at least a foot deep. Plant in rows, 

 the first week in September, and 12 inches apart each 

 way. Sheltering in winter, frequent stirring of the soil 

 in spring, and mulching with short, well-decayed stable 

 manure early in J une, are the chief points of after-culture. 

 See CARNATION for other points requiring attention. 



PIN PILLAR. Opu'ntia curassa'vica. 



PINNATE. A leaf is pinnate when several leaflets 

 grow from the sides of one foot-stalk, as in the Pea, 

 Acacia, Rose, &c. 



PINNATIFID is when a leaf is cut across from the 

 edge towards the centre nerve into several oblong 

 parallel segments, as in Ipomopsis, Gilia, &c. 



PI'NUS. Pine-tree. (A name from Theophrastus. 

 Nat. ord. Conifers [Conifera]. Linn. zi-Monoecia, 10- 

 Monadelphia.) 



Hardy evergreen trees and shrubs. Chiefly by seeds ; 

 scarce ones by cuttings, layers, inarching, and grafting ; 

 deep, rich loam yields the quickest and finest timber 

 for bulk ; a more mountainous situation, where the soil 

 is neither so rich nor so deep, is supposed to yield the 

 most lasting timber.
