Under this heading we group all of the numerous Single and Double Pinks, 

 Sweet Williams, Carnations, etc. Many beautiful additions have been made to 

 the family in the past few years. They all come quite true from seed, and in case 

 of double-flowered strains a fair proportion are semi-double and double. The 

 rich coloring, with the varied form and fringing of petals common to many va- 

 rieties, render them very attractive. They are all useful for bedding and all 



serviceable for cutting. 

 The annual Pinks may
