DIANTHUS 
Hardy Annual Pinks 
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, and thinned to stand 6 or 8 
inches apart in the row. The plants 
Spread rapidly, and make orna- 
mental masses of growth. ‘T’he col- 
orings of these hardy pinks are 
exceedingly rich and varied and 
their beauty is scarcely surpassed by any flower of the garden. Their 
cultural requirements are simple, and they are in universal favor. 
1293 ROYAL PINKS. This magnificent improvement on Dianthus, 
Heddewigii has been given the name of Heddewigii Nobilis—the noble 
or royal Heddewigii, and the group well deserves the name of Royal 
Pinks. It is derived from selected forms of the popular single-flower- 
ing Japan pinks, producing blossoms of a new shape, the petals being 
curled, waved and twisted, each covering half of another, and all beau- 
tifully fringed. The colors vary from white to intense red. The flowers 
are from 2 to 4 inches across, with large eyes, and are exceedingly 
showy and satisfactory. The plants are a foot or more in height and 
are unsurpassed for bedding purposes. Nothing among the annual, 
Single-flowered pinks can excel this new and lovely strain. Pkt., 10c.
