...THE BOOK OF 
Dianthus, Rose Dawn 
(Color picture on page 63). 
This flower is pretty, right from the word go! 
First it appears as a little cushion all soft and 
fuzzy like the back of a furry kitten. Then in 
May flower buds appear—hundreds of them— 
on short, straight stems that bristle out like the 
quills of a frightened porcupine. And then late 
in May blooms appear, like a beautiful minia' 
ture fireworks display, like hundreds of tiny 
rockets all exploding at once. Blooms similar 
to Maiden Pink but pure pink, no markings, 
about 24 inch across, 3 or 4 inches tall. Fine 
for border or rockery. Thrives in ordinary soil.

THE BOOK OF 
$ 60.00 Was Price Paid 
for Only ki Ounce of 
Dianthus Loveliness Seed 
Gold at the time this book was written was 
priced at $36.75 per ounce. DIANTHUS 
LOVELINESS SEED WAS PRICED AT 
$240.00 PER OUNCE—more than 624 times 
the value of the precious metal. We actually 
paid $60.00 for only one-quarter ounce of 
DIANTHUS LOVELINESS seed—$60.00 for 
a teaspoonful—$60.00 for a tiny quantity that 
you could blow away with one whiff of your 
breath. 
(See color picture on page 63). 
Dianthus Loveliness (imported from England) is a 
flower so new and so unusual that you will hardly believe 
it is real—it is more like a dream flower painted by some 
very imaginative artist. There is nothing else we can use 
for comparison. Actually Dianthus Loveliness is like 
Dianthus Loveliness and like nothing else. We only ask 
you to look at the picture—words can help but little, and 
the picture does not say half enough. ^

Dianthus From England 
(Deltoides Erecta) 
(Color picture on page 63). 
A soldierly little brother (or sister if you 
choose) of Maiden Pink, imported from Eng' 
land. Dianthus Deltoides Erecta is a Maiden 
Pink that has gone in for physical education— 
it has drawn back its shoulders, straightened up 
and polished up in true military fashion. 
The blooms of Dianthus Deltoides Erecta are really 
identical with Dianthus Deltoides in size and shape but 
richer in color, at times becoming almost red. They have 
the same dainty markings and the same dainty form but 
instead of lopping and sprawling, they stand up straight 
and erect—4 or 5 inches high. The foliage is an improve" 
ment, too, being upright, glossy, and healthy. Fine for 
borders, rockeries, beds. New! 
Prices: 50c each; 3 for $1.00; 10 for $3.00. 
You Pay Only ^1 per Plant 
Dianthus Loveliness makes a plant similar to a clump 
of low ornamental grass; leaves 5 to 6 inches high and 
whole plant 6 to 8 inches across. A very fine ornament 
in any border, rockery or bed. 
Above this the blooms appear on slender 8' to 10-inch 
stems often 25 or more stems to a plant, each stem with 
several of the dainty flowers. Blooms quaint lavender in 
color, throat apple green with pretty brown dots. Flowers 
V/ 2 to 2 inches across. 
Order Dianthus Loveliness for its loveliness—for its 
newness—for its unusualness. Only a few plants can be 
grown from a teaspoonful of seed, so the supply is de- 
cidedly limited. Order now. 
Prices Dianthus Loveliness: $1.00 each; 3 for $2.25.

Sky Blue Daisy 
(Aster Subcaeruleus)

Just think—a pretty blue 
Daisy with golden yellow center. 
The blue is tinged with mauve 
just enough to make a wonderful 
combination with the orange

agine. Grows only 10 to 12 
inches high, makes a beautiful 
border, fine in beds or rockeries. 
Price: 20c each; 6 for $1.00.

shaped with little pendants like 
little drops of blood; later they 
open, exposing an almost pure 
white interior. Foliage medium 
shade of green with reddish 
stems. Grow about 24 inches 
high. Fine for shady places. 
Like moisture. Price: 50c each; 
3 for $1.00; 6 for $1.75.

A little darling for rockery, 
bed or border; and it is blue—• 
the lovely dark beautiful blue 
that sets off other colors so well. 
Wonderful with Trollius, Iceland 
Poppies or other orange flowers. 
Note the seed pod—looks like 
a dainty tight-laced bodice, does¬ 
n’t it? Grows 8 to 10 inches 
high. Price: 20c each; 6 for 
$ 1 . 00 .
