DIANTHUS. 

 Pinks. (See novelties,) 

 This interesting group 

 includes the so-called 

 Dianthus, Heddewiom. Chinese and Japanese 

 pinks and the hardy perennial or clove pinks. The bi- 

 ennial sorts flower freely the first year from seed, and 

 hence have a place here. They are usually quite hardy, 

 and give a greater profusion of bloom the second year 

 than the first. The seeds of all kinds of Dianthus may 

 be sown in the open ground, and thinned to stand six 

 or eight inches apart in the row. The plants spread 

 rapidly, and make ornamental masses of growth. The 

 colorings of these hardy pinks are exceedingly rich and 

 varied, and their beauty is scarcely surpassed by any 

 flowers of the garden. Their cultural requirements are 

 simple, and they are in universal favor.
