DIANTHUS. "Rose Cushion" 
This truly remarkable plant 
has been "popularity tested" 
and proved not only to be 
novel and fascinating but ex¬ 
tremely hardy as well. There 
is nothing else like it! An 
evergreen cushion of attrac¬ 
tive blue-green foliage that 
peeps out from under the 
melting snow to say "spring 
is here!" Just before Dec¬ 
oration Day it blossoms forth 
with hundreds of showy pink 
flowers for 4 to 6 weeks. Plan 
now to edge some of your 
flower beds with Rose Cush¬ 
ion or get some for your rock 
garden. Strong field grown 
plants — such a satisfactory 
flower and such a sturdy 
plant that last season we 
made a very fine reputation 
on this novelty. 
Remember "Rose Cushion" (above) is "popularity tested." 
Each 35c; 2 for 58c; 4 for $1.10; 12 for.
