SWEET WILLIAM, i 



(Dianthus Barbatus.) 

 The Sweet William— one of the most ad 

 mired of our garden flowers— has been 

 a favorite for many years, on account 

 of its hardy, vigorous growth, and 

 rich profusion of bloom and ex- 

 tremely easy culture. Hardy 

 plants about 1 foot high, of ex- 

 treme richness and variety of 

 color, and also deliciously 

 sweet-scented; for clumps 

 orbordersno plantcan sur- 

 pass this old favorite. 

 Harlequin. Large heads 

 of flowers, from 4 to 5 ins. 

 across, each head being 

 composed of different col- 

 ored florets, such as dark 

 crimson, white, pink, flesh, 

 striped, etc., etc.; these colors, 

 banking against each other in 

 charming confusion, produce a 

 very bizarre effect, and bring out a 

 richness and vividness of coloring by 

 the sharp contrasts that we have never 



before seen equaled. (Seecut.) Pkt. 10
