COSMOS HHA

tall borders and for cutting, producing 
thousands of artistic flowers in pure 
white, pink, and crimson shades, fur¬ 
nishing an abundance of bloom for 
autumn decorations when other flowers 
are scarce. , ,,

largest flowers, but bloom late; for ex¬ 
treme northern parts, sow the extra- 
earlv flowering type.

Annual Dianthus, Finest Mixed 
DIANTHUS OR PINKS 
The varieties classed as annuals are 
really biennials, but are treated as an¬ 
nuals and may be sown out of doors 
when danger from frost is past, and in 
a few weeks’ time they are a mass of 
bloom. As a rule, they survive the win¬ 
ter if given slight protection, flowering 
abundantly the following season. They 
grow about a foot high, and can be used 
in beds or borders of solid or mixed col¬ 
ors. Dianthus or Pinks are fine for cut¬ 
ting and flower profusely over a long 
period. They are not particular as to 
soil, but should have a sunny location.
