MYBRID 

 S^^EET ^WII^I^IAMS. 



(Dianthus latifolius.) 



These hybrids are the result of a 



cross between the annual China Pinks 



and Sweet Williams, retaining most of 



the characteristics of the latter. They 



form compact, bushy plants, with fine 



Tieads of double flowers, and 



flower almost as quickly from 



seed as the China Pinks. 



2-342 latifolius atro- 

 coccinus Fl. PI. 

 This is unquestion- 

 ably the finest of the 

 hybrids, and comes 

 quite true from seed. 

 In color it is a bril- 

 liant fiery-red, and 

 commands attention in 

 position. Oz., 75 cts 



2343 Latifolius, Double 

 Mixed. While not so de- 

 sirable as the above, it offers 

 quite a variety in the way of 

 color, including rose, purple, 

 violet, scarlet, etc. Oz.,60c. 10
