Sweet William. 



SWEET WILLIAM, Dianthus Barbatus. 



The Sweet William is one of the finest flowering 

 plants among the hardy perennials, three years 

 being about the length of time it can be depend- 

 ed on for good flowers, and consequently, to keep 

 up a supply, a sowing of seed should be made at 

 least every other year. The flowers have a wide 

 range of bright colors and varied markings, in- 

 cluding the finest auricula-eyed varieties. Single 

 and double mixed. Pkt., 100 seeds, 3 cents.
