SPECIALTIES IN FLOWER SEEDf. 
^PHILADELPHLII 
DIANTHUS OR PINKS 
A magnificent genus, embracing some of the most popular 
flowers in cultivation, producing a great variety of brilliant 
colors and profusion of bloom. The varieties classed as annuals 
are really biennials, but are treated as annuals and may be sown 
out of doors when the danger from frost is past, and in a few weeks 
time they are a mass of bloom, continuing so until after hard 
frost. As a rule, they survive the winter if given slight protection 
flowering abundantly the following season. They grow about a 
foot high, and can be used in beds or borders of solid or mixed 
colors. The double flowering sorts are almost as fine as carnations 
for cutting. They are not particular as to soil, but should have 
a sunny location.
