Pinks. See Novelties: The annual 
and biennial sorts of dianthus flower 
freely the first year from seed. They 
are quite hardy, and often give a greater 
profusion of bloom the second year than 
the first. The seeds of all kinds of dian- 
thus may be sown in the open ground,

exceedingly rich and varied and their 
beauty is scarcely surpassed by any 
flower of the garden. Their cultural re- 
quirements are simple, and they are in 
universal favor.
