CATALOGUE OF THE PINKS. 



IN the following catalogue I have taken the liberty 

 to discard the names of many of the old Pinks, and 

 which I mean in future to discard from the garden 

 also, because their places can now be much better 

 supplied with new ones ; and if I have not published 

 a numerous list, let it be remembered that quality, 

 in respect to flowers, is always preferable to quantity
