HWADREER-PnilADELPtilAI^'^ReU ABLE FLOWER SEED 



DIANTHUS OR PINKS. 



A magnificent genus, embracing some of tlie most popular flowers in cultiva- 

 tion, producing a great variety of brilliant colors and profusion of bloom. The 

 varieties classed as annuals 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 

 hard frost. We had a bed each of the Single and Double Japan varieties at the 

 Pan-American Exposition, which were very satisfactory.
