(DIANTHUS CARYOPHYLLUS.) 
An indispensable feature in every collection of house or conservatory 
plants, as their wide range of colors, perfectly shaped and highly per- 
fumed flowers borne on long stems make them among the very best 
for cut flowers, ete. The plants may be set in the open ground during 
summer, where they will flower as profusely as when grown in pots in 
the house. Half hardy perennials; one to one and one-half feet high. 
Mareguerite.—Among flowers of recent introduction there 
has not been one which is more of an advance in certain features 
over existing forms of its species than this. The gain in time from 
the sowing of the seed until the plants begin flowering, is simply 
marvelous. Seed of this variety will give good flowering plants in 
five months with any sort of care, while the old kinds require at 
least a year. The flowers are large, double, very fragrant and 
borne in great abundance and in great variety of colors. Height
