Rianthus. 



-{Chinese and Japanese Pinks.) 



These popular 

 biennials flower 

 freely the first year 

 from seed. Inmost 

 localities the plants 

 are quite hardy and 

 produce even 

 larger and finer 

 flowers the second 

 year. Seed should 

 be sown thinly in 

 shallow drills when 

 trees are starting 

 out in leaf. When 

 well started, young 1 

 plants should be 

 thinned out or 

 transplanted, s o 

 that dwarf varie- 

 ties may stand six 

 inches apart and 

 the larger ones 

 eight inches apart 

 in the row. Plants 

 begin to bloom 

 early in summer 

 and continue until destroyed by hard frost.
