DIANTHUS (Garden Pinks) 



The Dianthus genus has furnished us with many useful and pretty 

 flowers. Besides the Pinks listed below, there are the many forms of Carna- 

 tions and the Sweet Williams offered elsewhere in this catalogue. The 

 Garden Pinks are particularly useful for bedding and also suitable for cut- 

 ting. They come in single and double forms, some with deeply fringed 

 petals, and in many attractive colors and markings. Average height about 

 1 foot. 



Single Annual Pinks HA 



These are strong, sturdy growers, blooming from early summer until fall. 

 They require a moderate amount of sunshine but are not particular as to 

 soil and will thrive almost anywhere. The seed may be sown in spring or 

 fall, and transplanting, if necessary, should be done while the plants are 

 quite small.

Hardy Garden Pinks 



Beautiful hardy flowers for the tall border, with towering spikes of bell- 

 shaped blossoms and strong, clean foliage at the base. Although they

 blooming the second season from seed sown during spring or summer. They 

 may also be flowered in pots in a cool greenhouse from August-sown seed.

DIMORPHOTHECA (African Orange Daisy) HA

 phothecas from rising rapidly in the favor of flower-lovers. They grow 

 rapidly and luxuriantly in any sunny spot, commence to bloom in six to 

 eight weeks after sowing, and are one continuous sheet of bloom from 

 then on until fall. For best effect, they should be planted in masses, but 

 they are also suitable for borders and pot-plants, and make very nice 

 cut-flowers. 12 to 15 inches.
