DIANTHUS. _Biennial. We consider the Heddiwigi 
section of the Dianthus introduced by our 
house from the Hast, and the parent of many of the best types, 
to be one of the finest additions to our annual flora for the last 
fifty years, and the varieties detailed above are the improved 
results from the original importation. Sow in spring in boxes 
or pots, and transplant to where intended to bloom. Seeds of 
all the improved types may be also sown at the end of summer, 
and grown on in pots through the winter under fairly cool 
treatment. They will make robust plants at the end of spring, 
and become useful in the decoration of the conservatory. Our 
Large-flowered Dwarf type is a beautiful selection.
