Few flowers can equal Dianthus in variety and brilliancy of color, blooming all Summer and Fall until prevented by 

 severe frost. They live over Winter, and give satisfaction and pleasure the second season. The plants are of the easiest 

 cultivation, and should be planted in quantities by all. We recommend the list of distinct varieties below as the best ever 

 offered ; they grow lo to 15 inches, and as is well known, cannot be surpassed for edging or bedding.
