The Chinese or Indian Pinks constitute one of the most brilliant and splendid 
groups of hardy biennials in cultivation. All the varieties are easily raised 
from seed ; and sown early in Spring under glass and transplanted, they make 
charming beds during the Summer and Autumn. The Heddewigi section produce 
the largest flowers, and aro perhaps the most beautiful ; but all are richly 
deserving of extensive cultivation, and no garden should be found without some 
of the varieties.
