lANTHUS OR PINKS 



A magnificent genus, uuibrating some ol the most 

 popular flowers in cultivation, producing a great 

 variety of brilliant colors and profusion of bloom. 

 The varieties classed as annuals are really bienni- 

 als, but are treated as annuals and may be sown 

 out of doors when danger from fiost is past, and 

 in a few weeks' time they are a mass of bloom, 

 continuing so until alter hard fiost. 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 o» 

 borders of solid or mixed colors. The double- 

 flowering sorts are almost as fne as Carnations for 

 cutting. They are not particular as to soil, but 

 should have a sunny location.
