D1ANTHUS LOVELINESS 
One of Allwood’s outstanding- introduc¬ 
tions, flowers a shade of heavenly mauve, 
with petals deeply cut and laciniated, and 
of delightful fragrance. It is distinct from 
all other types of Dianthus, at first ap¬ 
pearing like a large clump of a grassy 
plant form. From these clumps are pro¬ 
duced on the average of 12 to 20 flowers 
on stems 10 to T 2 inches in length. The 
flowers are so much different that they 
command a great deal of attention. They 
are very distinctive in any type of floral 
arrangement and also make very attrac¬ 
tive plants in the garden. 
Per 10, $2.00; Per 100, $15.00 
DIANTHUS ROSE CUSHION 
This outstanding new variety is quite 
different from other Dianthus. The clear 
bright rose colored flowers are quite erect, 
they do not droop. The plant does not run 
wild, keeps its shape, very low growing 
and compact, ideal for low borders or 
rockeries. It is perfectly hardy and does 
well in any well drained soil. Consider¬ 
ing the style of its growth it is very at¬ 
tractive even when not in flower.

or in borders of flower gardens. Field

Astilbes become acquainted with it. It de¬ 
velops into large clumps producing 8 to 
12 heavy spikes of dark salmon-carmine 
flowers about 12 to 14 inches in height.
