COLE'S GARDEN ANNUAL. 



Dianthns Plant 



DIANTHUS (Pink) 



The China and Japan Pinks are deservedly very 

 popular, as few flowers can equal them in beauty 

 and profusion of bloom. They bloom continually all 

 summer and fall, until overtaken by severe frost; 

 they live over winter and bloom finally again the 

 second season. The plants generally grow ten to 

 fifteen inches high, and are of the easiest cultivation. 

 So satisfactory a class of flowers should be grown 

 in large variety in every garden. Hardy biennial.

 that we possess, and cannot be equalled for its 

 graceful and elegant appearance, and artistic beauty 

 of its flowers. Easily grown from seed, and requires 

 a shady situation in the garden; the best soil is a 

 rich, sandy loam, and must not become pot-bound 

 before flowering. Greenhouse Shrub.

 the most charming spring flowers they are indispen- 

 sable for cool, shady places. Seed sown in August 

 will make strong young plants to carry over winter 

 with protection and blooms very early in spring.

 seed produces a few singles and semi-doubles. Half-
