 white, cerise, etc. — many havirg large white eyes, and 

 all being dehciously sweet scented. (See ctU.)

^^-- Sweet William. 



(DIANTHUS BARBATUS ANNUS.) 

 One of the finest novelties of the season. The old 

 favorite Sweet William, as all know, does not flower 

 until the second year from seed, but this new type 

 commences blooming in early summer from spring- 

 sown seed and continues in flower for several weeks. 

 The plants are of the same habit as the perennial kinds, 

 producing fine heads of bloom of various colors — white, 

 crimson, rose-pink, etc., many of which are broadly 

 edged with white and sweetly fragrant. (See cut.)

 produces beautiful pansy - like

 brilliant colors, including white, 

 lemon, orange, claret, crimson, 

 maroon, lavender, purple, silver- 

 gray, rose, black, blue, etc.; also 

 fnncy varieties tinted, striped, 

 blotched, feathered, picotee-edged, 

 etc. The plants are hardy, of 



vigorous growth, forming deep-rooting, compact, tufted clumps. Planted in masses or lines they 

 form perfect mats covered with mjTnads of flowers from spring imtil cold weather. They are more 



Eerenuial in character than paiisies, throwing out new roots annuallv, adapting them to permanent 

 eds, edirintrs, etc. The flowers are borne on long stems which shoot up like those of the violet 

 directly from the roots, which accounts for their continuous bloom for nine months in the 3ear. 

 ^t^nv of them are as highly scented as the sweetest Aiolet.
