DIANTHUS 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 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 bloom, continu- 

 ing 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-flower- 

 ing sorts are almost as fine as Carnations for cutting. They 

 are not particular as to soil, but should have a sunny location.
