 seed is sown. Once established, they are among the earliest flowering of all dianthus varieties 

 and, unlike others, continue to bloom long after the spring has passed. The color is a nicely 

 blended mixture of pink and rose shades, some with a dark eye, and all nicely fringed. .Pkt. 35c

 length, closely set with flowers of unusual size, ranging in color from the purest white to
