“Amongst the many brilliant perennial flowers which form such handsome 
objects in our gardens, this genus holds a foremost position. . . , Indeed, the 
name clearly expresses the character of the flowers, it being derived from dios, 
divine, and antfujs, a flower. . . . Both double and single are adapted for 
growing in beds ; indeed, a mass of Indian Pinks presents an effect not easily 
surpassed. . . . Some of the varieties grow about a foot in height, but the charming 
Mountain Pink, which is an excellent plant for rockeries, is but 9 inches 
in height.’
