Dianthus (Flower of the Gods). 
See Coloured Illustration, Last page of Wrapper. 
Vulture — May be treated either as Annuals or Biennials. Sow in Spring on 
heat, prick off into prepared beds, and plant out in May. Sow also in April and 
May in the open ground, thinning out to a distance of eight or ten inches. 
Dianthus Chinensis, or Indian Pink. — We are inclined to assert that there 
is no tribe of hardy flowers more generally known and admired than the “Pink” 
tribe. We consider the Heddewigi section to be the finest addition to our annual 
flora for the last fifty years, and the varieties detailed below are the improved 
results from the original importation. The choice between Single and Double kinds 
we must leave to individual taste, both are grandly beautiful, and deserve to be grown 
everywhere.

Geranium, Carters’ Prize. 
Culture. — -Sow in spring and summer in light 
soil in pots, and place on gentle bottom heat ; the 
feathery particle attached to the seed should be 
left exposed. When the second leaf appears prick 
off into store pots, pot off singly, and shift into larger 
pots as the plants progress. 
We admit that it would be botanically correct to 
call these Pelargoniums, but being almost universalh 
called Geraniums, we commercially submit to Un- 
popular voice.
