DIAN'THUS, Nat. Ord. Caryopliylla! cece. Splendid hardy annuals, etc. 
D. sinensis ( Chinese or Indian Pink, as it is sometimes called ) ranks foremost in bedding plants from seed. 
Raised early in spring under glass, potted on and planted out, it is in bloom in June, and will continue covered 
with flowers till late in autumn, if a little attention is paid to it. Some of the finest effects in our Experimental 
Grounds have been produced by the varieties of Imperialis, Hcddewigii, Laciniatus , and Planus. If seed is sown 
in autumn the plants stand the winter, and in summer each plant will form a complete bush. The flowers range 
in colour from the purest white to the deepest crimson and the most beautiful lilac. Seed may also be sown 
from March to May out of doors where intended to bloom for a summer and late autumn display.
