HARDY DIANTHUS 
The perennial Garden Pinks are meritorious and de¬ 
pendable plants for rockery or edging, some of them large 
enough even for the hardy border. Easy and sure from 
seed. 
21 DIANTHUS ALLWOODI—ecrbx(2) 18. Sweetly per- 
fumed Clove Pink-Carnation hybrids. Wonderfully varied 
colorings. Some of the plants come close indeed to Carna¬ 
tion, but always with hardiness and sturdiness of Plumarius. 
This strain stands on every bit as high a plane today as it 
did a few years back, when its seed was several times as 
costly. Pkt. 15c; oz. 25c; % oz. 40c. 
21 DIANTHUS ARENARIUS—*erdx(2)6. Foliage densities, 
piled, folded and rumpled into a miniature landscape; hills 
and valleys of silver-green velvet. Picturesque rock garden 
plant. Fringed, perfumed creamy blossoms. Illustrated, page 
26. Pkt. 15c; oz. 30c; % oz. 50c. (Plants, each 20c; 
3 for 55c ; 10 for $1.60.) 
21 DIANTHUS AVALON—erx(2-3)10. Double flowers of 
flaming rose, over wide silvery mounds. Pkt. 25c. (Plants, 
each 35c.) 
21 DIANTHUS ARVERNENSIS—erx(2)5. Here is the true 
dwarf form of this variable, but always desirable rock 
garden hybrid. It makes wide mossy foliage mats. Pretty 
little rose-pink, notch-petalled blossoms above. Pkt. 25c. 
21 DIANTHUS BARBATUS JOHNSON GIANTS—ecbx(2)25. 
Sweet William selected both to increase size of individual 
flower, and range of coloring. Vivid hues and new blendings, 
florets often with contrasting eye. Pkt. 15c; ^ oz. 25c. 
(Plants, each 20c; 3 for 50c; 10 for $1.50.) 
21 DIANTHUS BOISSIERI—erbx(3)16. Pretty Carnation- 
cousin from hills of Spain. Single to double flowers, white, 
pink, rose. Pkt. 10c; % oz. 30c. (Plants, each 25c.) 
21 DIANTHUS CAESIUS—erx(2) 10. Fringed pink blos¬ 
soms over silvery cushions. We are now told that this 
should be Dianthus gratianopolitanus, by virtue of three 
years priority in publication. Well, perhaps by that it 
will achieve rarity, so becoming as highly desired as it 
has always deserved to be. Pkt. 10c; % oz. 25c. 
21 DIANTHUS DELTOIDES MONTANUS—ergtnx(2)8. In 
tnis fine-leafed turf-forming variety of Deltoides we have 
an excellent ground cover or even grass substitute ; one more¬ 
over that will maintain its own in competition with other 
vegetation, and with low, close-packed foliage that is 
always attractive. Blossoms of brilliant rose. Pkt. 15c; 
1 ^ oz. 30c. (Plant divisions, each 15c; 3 for 40c; 10 for 
$ 1 . 20 .) 
21 DIANTHUS HYBRIDA FLORIBUNDA—erx(2-3)9. Per¬ 
haps a cross of D. monspessulanus and D. plumarius. 
Dwarf, compact, exceedingly floriferous. Flowers are 
single to double, delicately fragrant, notched petals, usually 
pink to rose. Pkt. 20c. 
21 DIANTHUS GRISEBACHI—erx(2-3)9. Blossoms of 
burning rose, crimson freckled. Mass production for 
months on end. Half-decumbent mat-former. Good. Pkt. 
10c; oz. 20c. (Plants, good divisions, each 20c; 3 for 
50c; 10 for $1.50.) 
21 DIANTHUS HIGHLAND HYBRIDS—ecrbx(2-3) 16. This 
has perhaps the largest individual flowers of any Dianthus 
in our list, although Dianthus Winter! is but scantly less. 
Colorings vary from softest blush suffusions, through pure 
pink, to deep rose, sometimes a clear self tone, or again, 
with a wide zone of maroon velvet. Good stem length. A 
particularly good Hortulan. Pkt. 15c; ^ oz. 25c. (Plants, 
each 20c; 3 for 55c; 10 for $1.65.) 
21 DIANTHUS HOELTZERI—ecrbx (2) 18. Large fringed 
flowers, white or pink, often zoned or blush-suffused. It 
comes from Turkey. Pkt. 10c; % oz. 25c; % oz. 40c. 
21 DIANTHUS KNAPPI—ecrbx(2-4) 18. Lemon yellow 
blossoms, an altogether unique coloring in hardy Dianthus. 
Plant it with Jasione perennis for delightful and long 
yellow-and-blue effects. Particularly durable and long- 
lived, established specimens being highly resistant to all 
ordinary plant-perils. Illustrated, page 26. Pkt. 20c. 
(Plants each 25c; 3 for 70c; 10 for $2.00.) 
21 DIANTHUS LONGICALYCINA — rcrbx(3)25. Open, 
airy, branching plants, loaded with lace-fringed flowers, 
pink to rose. In season, it closes the gap between D. 
speciosus and D. superbus, the three then giving a full, 
linked succession of lace-blossom beauty. It is, perhaps, 
botanically but a variety of D. superbus; horticulturally 
it is altogether distinct. Pkt. 15c; oz. 25c. 
21 DIANTHUS MONSPESSULANUS—erx (3-4) 12 . Long- 
fringed pink blossoms with dark eye. Late blooming. Pkt. 
20 c. 
21 DIANTHUS NEGLECTUS—erx(2)6. Delightful .flowers 
of bright cherry, tawny rose in reverse. Pkt. 25c. 
21 DIANTHUS PANCICI—ebx(3-4)40. This odd Bulgarian 
is our tallest species. This year our plants reached a full 
forty inches of many-stemmed sheaf-height, so we have had 
to raise our catalog limit. It’s tall enough, and robust 
enough, to fit any hardy perennial border, where it is 
likely to be a bit on the sensational side, since few realize 
that a “Pink” may be so high. Shining mahogany buds, 
then closely clustered blossoms of striate rose, Pkt, 15c; 
oz. 30c. (Plants, young but sturdy, 20c each; 3 for 60c.) 
21 DIANTHUS PLUMARIUS—erx(2) 10. Simply the old- 
time lovable Clove Pink, spice-scented, variably colored. 
Pkt. 5c. 
21 DIANTHUS SEGUERI—*ercbx(3-5)20. Big bushy plants, 
long-laden with large notch-petalled blossoms that may be 
anything from soft pink to deep carmine, usually marked 
with maroon circles and white dots. Blooms from mid- 
July until well into autumn. Pkt. 15c; 5 ^ oz. 35c, (Plants 
each 25c.) 
21 DIANTHUS SPECIOSUS—erbx(2)20. The early-blooming 
counterpart, or perhaps variety, of Dianthus superbus, and 
v/ell-named The Showy Pink. A vast profusion of exceed¬ 
ingly lacy blossoms that vary from pink to lilac. Foliage 
blue-glaucous. Pkt. 15c; oz. 25c. (Plants, each 20c; 
3 for 55c ; 10 for $1.65.) 
21 DIANTHUS SQUARROSUS—ecrx(2)12. Profuse whirl¬ 
winds of fringed pink-and-white. Decorative foliage mats. 
South Russia. Pkt. 10c; Ys oz. 25c; % oz. 45c. 
21 DIANTHUS SUBACAULIS—erltx(2)6. Splendid rock 
garden plant, with low, dense, turf-mounds of blue-green 
foliage, set all over with pretty little blossoms, pink to 
rose. Pkt. 20c; 1/32 oz. 35c; ^ oz. 50c. (Plants, each 25c.) 
21 DIANTHUS SUPERBUS—ecrbx(3-4)25. Lace pink. A 
sheer extravagance of wind-blown laciness in sweetly per¬ 
fumed rosy pink. Upright plants, built of slender, much- 
branched stems. Recommended. Pkt. 10c; Ys oz. 30c; % oz. 
50c, (Plants, each 20c; 3 for 55c; 10 for $1.65.) 
21 DIANTHUS SUPERBUS WHITE LACE—The name de¬ 
scribes it. Exquisite airy filigrees. Pkt. 15c. 
21 DIANTHUS SUPERBUS NANUS—A rock garden Super¬ 
bus of less than half the height. Pkt. 15c. 
21 DIANTHUS SYLVESTRIS — erstx(2)10. Purest deep 
pink, no hint of rose, but with an alluring touch of buff¬ 
tawniness to the throat. Big flowers, rarely dentate, never 
fringed. Arching sheafs of bloom. A plant for friendly 
long delighting, rather than for the passers gaudy showing. 
Pkt. 20c. (Plants, each 25c; 3 for 70c,) 
21 DIANTHUS WINTERI—ecrbx( 8 ) 15. A magnificent strain 
of everblooming Hortulans, of English origin, and likely 
carrying some Carnation blood. Flowers of largest size, 
carried sturdily upright, and showing widely variable col¬ 
orings and markings, with many vivid contrasts. A group 
deserving of high recommendation. Pkt. 15c; ^ oz. 25c; 
Ys oz. 40c; % oz. 65c. (Plants, each 25c; 3 for 70c.) 
21 DIANTHUS ZOxNATUS—erx(2) 12. Splendid pink flowers,

Dianthus names given here are, in most instances, correct 
for stocks supplied, but there are likely some cases of 
unintentional misidentification. Nomenclature of Dianthus 
strains in the Seed and Nursery trades the world around, 
is badly in need of study and revision. All Dianthus stocks 
that we grow or list, are nevertheless of horticultural merit 
to accord in fullest degree with price charged.
