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. 



The 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

 quite small.
