Dianthus, Linn. From dio«, divine, and anihoa, a 
flower ; in reference to the fragrance of the blossoms, 
and the unrivalled neatness of the flowers. Linn. 
13, Or. 2, Nat. Or. Silenaceae. A truly beautiful 
and ornamental genus, contciining some of the most 
prized flowers we possess, on account of the beauty 
and fragrance of their flo vers, and their foliage, 
which 18 as green and vivid in winter as it is in 
summer. The rarer kinds should be grown in 
pots, so that they c^ul be protected in winter. They 
all delight in light loamy soil, mixed with a little 
rotten dung, or decayed leaves and sand. They 
may be increased by seeds, or cuttings; the last 
method is preferable. The cuttings should be 
planted out under a glass, about the middle of 
June, and if they be planted on a gentle hotbed, 
they will be ready for planting out in about three 
weeks. The annual and biennial kinds merely 
require sowing in the open border, where they 
will grow and flower freely. Synonyniea : 1. D.
