DiAnthus, Linn. From dios, divine, and antJws, 

 ,. a flower ; in reference to the fragrance of the 

 ' blossoms, and the unrivalled neatness of the 

 flowers. Linn. 13, Or. 2, Nat. Or. (Jaryophyl- 

 lacece. A truly beautiful and ornamental 

 ,' genus, containing some of the most prized 

 lowers we possess, on account of their beauty 

 and fragrance ; the foliage of the perennial 

 kinds is also as green and vivid in winter as it 

 is iu summer. The rarer species should be 

 grown in pots, so that they can be protected in 

 winter. They all delight in light loamy soil, 

 mixed with a little rotten dung, or decayed 

 leaves and sand. They may be increased by 

 seeds, layers, cuttings, and division of the 

 roots. The cuttings should be planted out 

 under a glass, about the middle of June, and 

 if on a gentle hotbed, they will be ready for 

 planting in the open ground in about three 

 weeks. The annual and biennial kinds merely 

 require sowing in the open border, where they 

 will grow and flower freely. Synonymes: 1, D.
