IANTHUS OR PINKS 



A magnificent genus, embracing seme of the most 

 popular howtrs in cultivation, pr< ducing a great 

 variety of brilliant colors and profusion of bloom. 

 The varieties classed as annuals are really biennials, 

 but are treated as annuals and may be sown out of 

 doors when the danger from frost is past, and in a 

 few weeks' time they are a mass of blcom, continu- 

 ing so until afer hard frost. As a rule, they sur- 

 vive the winter if given slight protection, floweiing 

 abundantly the following season. They grow abcut 

 a fcot high and can be used in beds or borders cf 

 solid or mixed colors. The double flowering sorts 

 are almost as fine as Carnations for cuttii g. They 

 are not pariirular as to soil, but should have a 

 sunny location.
