NEW PERPETUAL-FLOWERING 

 HARDY PINKS 



(Dianthus Allwoodi) 



This is a most important addition to our list of perennial plants. They are 

 perfectly hardy and flower continuously from early spring until late in the 

 autumn; the flowers are much more substantial and larger than the old type 

 of Hardy Pinks, and are borne on long stems suitable for cutting; deliciously 

 clove-scented. 



Albert.; Delicate mauve, with a deeper lacing at base of petals. 

 Harold. A splendid large double pure white of great substance. 

 Jean. Pure white with a deep violet-crimson centre. 

 Mary. Pale rose-pink with light maroon centre. 

 Robert. A delicate shade of old rose with light maroon centre. 

 Susan. Delicate lilac with large deep, almost black, mark at the base of 



each petal, large, full double flower. 



We offer good thrifty young plants of the above 30 cts. each; $3.00 per 

 doa.; $18.00 per 100. One each of the 6 sorts for $1.50.

profusion during May and June. They are indispensable for the edge of the

Her Majesty. A splendid double smooth edged white.

 sorts, $1.60. 



Mixed Hardy Garden Pinks. We offer a fine lot of seedlings 

 grown from a very select strain, which should produce a good 

 percentage of double flowers. Those that come single are very 

 pretty, and are preferred by some to the full, double sorts.
