<>,  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 an- 
nuals 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, 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 sunny location.
