Dreer's DidllthuS — The Beautiful Pinks 



® & [HP] 



The annual as well as the hardy Pinks are favorite subjects for garden planting 

 because of the rich colors and exquisite fragrance of their blooms. The annual 

 varieties may be started outdoors as early in the spring as the ground can be 

 prepared. Sown later they often will live through the winter to bloom next year 

 if planted in well-drained soil.
