Dianthus or Pinks 
Few flowers can equal the old-fashioned Pinks in 
beauty and profusion of blooms. They are easily 
grown and do well in almost any kind of soil and 
location. The varieties listed on this page are biennials, but 
are usually treated as annuals, and are a mass of bloom within 
a few weeks after seed is planted. Excellent for cutting. As 
a rule, they survive the winter if given slight protection, flower¬ 
ing abundantly the following season.

MARGARET. These are 
deservedly the most popular 
Carnations with the amateur,

Sown early, the plants will 
bloom during the late summer 
and early fall, and by repeated 
sowings they may be had in 
bloom all winter long if grown 
in the conservatory or green¬ 
house. If slightly protected 
they will survive an ordinary 
winter out of doors and bloom 
the following spring.
