INDIAN PINKS AT WISLEY, 1916. 
Thirty-six stocks of Indian Pinks (varieties of Dianthus chinensis) 
were sent in for trial in 1916. They were sown in pots on April 4, 
pricked off on April 24 into boxes and planted out on May 22 in 
double-dug soil. 
The most striking feature of the Indian pinks, as grown in the 
trial, was the brilliancy of the display of flowers late in the season 
(mid-October) when comparatively few garden subjects are in 
blossom.

22, 23, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 33> 34> 35, 36.
