DIANTHUS or "CHINA PINKS" 



DOUBLE^FLOWERING ANNUAL VARIETIES 



Crown of Perfection. Most beautiful and satisfactory summer-flowering annuals. 

 Unrivaled for brilliancy and rich variety of color; the plants are bushy, of symmetrical 

 form, 1 foot high. The flowers average 6 inches in circumference, are densely double, 

 and produced in succession during the whole summer and autumn in such numbers as 

 fairly to crowd each other for room. There is a wonderful diversity of colors, from 

 purest white to red shades deep and intensely brilliant, soft pinks and flesh tints, 

 and a large proportion of flowers hieroglyphically marked with various hues, the delicate 

 tints and deep tones mingling in exquisite contrast. (See cut.)
