1ANTHUS OR PINKS. 



A magnificent genus, embracing some of the most 

 popular flowers in cultivation, producing ;i 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 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 lie used in beds or 

 borders of solid or mixed colors. The double- 

 flowering sorts are ahm»i a< line as Carnations for 

 cutting. They are not particular as to soil, but 

 should have a sunny location.
