Dianthns Plant 



Dianthus 



The China and Japan Pinks are deservedly 

 very popular, as few flowers can equal them 

 in beauty and profusion of bloom. They 

 bloom continually all summer and fall, until 

 overtaken by severe frost; they live over win- 

 ter and bloom again the second season. The 

 plants generally grow ten to fifteen inches 

 high, arfd are of the easiest cultivation. So 

 satisfactory a class of flowers should be 

 grown in large variety in every garden.

Daisy (Bellis Perennis) 



Daisies are easily raised from spring-grown 

 seed, and come into flower in a very short 

 time. Among the most charming spring 

 flowers they are indispensable for cool, shady

 strong plants to carry over the winter with 

 protection and blooms very early in spring.

 flowers, the seed produces a few single and 

 semi-doubles. Half hardy perennials.
