DIANTHUS OR PINKS" 



A magnificent genus, embracing some of the most popular 

 flowers in cultivation, producing a great variety of brilliant 

 colors and profusion of bloom. The varieties classed as annuals 

 are really biennials, but are treated as annuals and may be sown 

 out of doors when the danger from frost is past, and in a few 

 weeks time they are a mass of bloom, continuing so until after 

 hard frost. As a rule, they survive the winter if given slight 

 protection, flowering abundantly the following season. They 

 grow about a foot high, and can be used in beds or borders of 

 solid or mixed colors. The double flowering sorts are almost as 

 fine as carnations for cutting. They are not particular as to 

 soil, but should have a sunny location.
