DIANTHUS OR PINKS 



A magnificent genus, embracing some of the most popixlar 

 flowers in cultivation, producing a great variety of brilliant 

 colors and profusion of bloom. The varieties classed as annuals 

 are reaUy biennials, but are treated as annuals and may be iown 

 out of doors when the danger from frost is past, and in a few weeks 

 time they are a mass of bloom, continuing so until after hard 

 frost. As a rule, they survive the winter if given slight protection, 

 flowering abundantly the following season. They grow about a 

 foot high, and can be used in beds or borders of solid or mixed 

 colors. The double flowering sorts are almost as fine as carnations 

 for cutting. They are not particular as to soil, but should have a 

 ~unny location.
