The varieties of Dianthus known as Chinese Pinks and Japanese Pinks 
are among- the most brilliant of our garden flowers. Plants of the tall 
sorts are from twelve to fifteen inches in height; those of the dwarf va¬ 
rieties are only a few inches high. These last make good pot plants, 
beedscan be sown under glass in the Spring or in an open, sheltered seed 
bed. I he plants are easily transplanted and should be set from eight to 
twelve inches apart— the dwarf varieties about six inches. The plants 
bloom all through the summer and, also, the second season if protected 
in winter.

You dig about its roots and water it, 
And so improve it to a garden pink. 
But ivill not change it to a heliotrope .”
