Delightful Hardy Pinks* 
Dianthus Sempernorens or Everblooming Hardy Pinks. 
The Hardy Garden or Clove Pinks are as valuable as they are popular for the border and for edging. All varie¬ 
ties flower with lavish profusion in May and June; the everblooming varieties continuing until late autumn. The 
beauty and delightful fragrance of their double flowers render them invaluable for cutting.
