ya |, 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 ciassed 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, 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 particularasto ~ 
soil, but should have a sunny location. :
