DIANTBU8 LACINIATDS NANUS. 
1261. H.A. Dianthus Laeinlatus Nanus, New Hybrids— This 
novelty differs from the well-known D. Laciniatus by its lower growth, and 
its somewhat smaller, less fringed, but much finer coloured flowers. A group 
of this new tribe in full bloom presents a beautiful and distinct aspect 
OB account of the charming salmon colouring, and of the great diversity of 
designs and dark ring round the centre. 10 inches high, and are remarkable 
for their free-flowering character. Per pkt., Is. 
480 . H.P. Cannell’s Dianthus Plumarius Sing^le, mixed— 
Although these are amongst the Dianthus, and correctly so, yet they are 
really Single Pinks, and for all piirposes of cut-flowers most lovely and 
beautiful. One of the easiest to grow either from seeds or cuttings, grow 
smywhere ; are what was formerly called Rook Pinks. Strange to say, they 
are almost unknown. 1 ft. 6</. per pkt. 
1202. H.A. Dianthus Superbus, “ Telekli ’’—The result of a cross 
between Viantkus Hvperbus and L>. Chinensis, having all the advantages of 
its parents without their defects. Seen at its greatest advantage as a 
perpetual blooming variety from June to October. Its double flowers range 
from pure white, black carmine, aud violet, and can be cultivated as a 
biennial as well as an annual, even during the rainy season the display of 
flowers is still beautiful, while the Chinensis and other varieties are spoilt.
