DIANTHUS 



GARDEN 



PINKS 



For beauty and pro- 

 fusion of bloom, few 

 plants equal the Pinks. 

 The plants flower con- 

 tinuously all summer. 



Sow in the open 

 ground early in spring. 



DIANTHUS 



SWEET 



WIVELSFIELD 



A new, hardy annual, 

 good for borders, as a 

 cut flower and espe- 

 cially adapted for rock 

 gardens Pkt. 15c 



Every garden should 

 include some of these 

 Japanese or Chinese 

 Pinks because they are so 

 easily grown and make 

 such a wonderful display 

 with their brightly col- 

 ored flowers.

DIANTHUS, LACINIATUS SPLENDENS 



Free flowering and easily grown, the Dianthus 

 family has for years furnished us with some of our 

 most popular border subjects. One of the recent addi- 

 tions to this family is the sterling novelty Laciniatus 

 Splendens, a variety which, in our opinion, is the 

 most striking Dianthus we have ever offered. The 

 flowers are very large, over 2 inches across, in a 

 brilliant shade of crimson, with a large, boldly con- 

 trasting, glistening white eye. Pkt. 15c 



EVERLASTING FLOWERS 



The seeds of all the varieties may be sown out- 

 doors early in spring, with the exception of Gomph- 

 rena, which sometimes does not germinate well in the 

 open ground, and it is best to sow it indoors and 

 transplant. For winter bouquets, the flowers should 

 be cut before they are fully open, tied in bunches and 

 suspended with the heads down, to keep the stems 

 straight.
