[EDELWEISS 
( Dianthus Chinensis, Indian Pink). — Biennial. 
We consider the Heddiwigi section of the 
Dianthus introduced by our house from the East, and the parent 
of many of the best types. to be one of the finest additions to our 
annual flora for the last fifty years, and the varieties detailed 
below are the improved results from the original importation. 
.Sow in spring in boxes or pots, and transplant to where intended 
to bloom. Seeds of all the improved types may be also sown at 
the end of summer, and grown on in pots through the winter 
under fairly cool treatment. They will make robust plants at 
the end of spring, and become useful in the decoration of the 
conservatory. Our Targe-flowered Dwarf type is a beautiful 
selection.
