Delightful Hardy Pinks. 



Dianthus Semperflorens or Bverblooming Hardy Pinks. 



The Hardy Garden or Clove Pinks are as valuable as they are popular for the border and for edging. All varie- 

 ties flower with lavish profusion in May and June; the everblooming varieties continuing until late autumn. The 

 beauty and delightful fragrance of their double flowers render them invaluable for cutting.
