DIANTHUS OR PINKS A 
A magnificent genus, embracing some of the most 
popular flowers in cultivation. It includes a great 
variety of brilliant colors and blooms most profusely. 
The varieties classed as annuals are really biennials 
but are treated as annuals and may be sown out of 
doors when the danger from frost is past. In a few 
weeks’ time they are a mass of bloom, continuing so 
until after hard frost. As a rule, they survive the 
winter if given slight protection, flowering abundant¬ 
ly the following season. They grow about a foot high 
and can be used in beds or borders of solid or mixed 
colors. The double flowering sorts are almost as 
fine as Carnations for cutting. They are not particu¬ 
lar as to soil, but should have a sunny location.
