RELIABLE FLOWER SEEDS [I 
Group oF Douste ANNUAL PINKS. 
IANTHUS OR PINKS. 
A magnificent genus, embracing some of the most 
popular flowers in cultivation, producing a great variety 
of brilliant colors and profusion of bloom. The va- 
rieties classed as annuals are really biennials, but are > 
treated as annuals and may be sown out of doors 
when danger from frost is past, and in a few weeks’ 
time they are a mass of bloom, continuing so until 
after hard frost. To bring these prominently to the 
attention of our customers we show a dozen sorts in 
colors and offer them on page 54.
