I 



An indispensable garden flower. A flower fitted equally to adorn the poor man's g'arden or the spacious ^rounds of the millionaire. 

 Never out of place in any situation. Succeeds in any soil. 'Stands neglect, heat and cold, and is as near iron-clad 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 eitherln 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 of Dianthus direct from headquar- 

 ters if you would have the choicest flowers. Grows about one foot in height, branching freely, and is always strong and erect.
