DIANTHUS. 
Pinks. (See novelties, )

ennial sorts flower freely the first year from seed, and 
hence have a place here. They are usually quite hardy, 
and give a greater profusion of bloom the second year 
than the first. The seeds of all kinds of Dianthus may 
be sown in the open ground, and thinned to stand six 
or eight inches apart in the row. The plants spread 
rapidly, and make ornamental masses of growth. The 
colorings of these hardy pinks are exceedingly rich and 
varied, and their beauty is scarcely surpassed by any 
flowers of the garden. Their cultural requirements are 
simple, and they are in universal favor.
