An indispensable garden flower. A flow jr fitted equally to adorn the poor man's garden or the spacious grounds of the millionaire. Neverout of 

 place in any siuiation. Succeeds in any soil. Stands neglect, heat and cold, and is as near ironclad as plant can well be. Like their near relative, the 

 Carnation, the Dianthus is superlatively beautiful, many varieties possessing a radiant-like fire that is impossible to describe, but is the very acme of 

 richness and beauty. A grand flower for cutting or flower work, and succeeds well in pots for winter bloom if treated like Carnations. Sow early either 

 in house or open ground, and plants will not only bloom all summer and fall but will survive the winter and bloom the next season. Never sow any but 

 the best seed direct from headquarters it you would have the choicest flowers. Grows about one foot high, branching freely, always strong and erect.
