HARDY OIANTHUS 
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. 
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,

21 DIANTHUS ARENARIUS- *erdxl2)6. Following densi¬ 
ties, piled, folded and rumpled into a miniature landscape; 
hills and valleys of silver-green velvet. Picturesque rock 
garden plant. Fringed, perfumed creamy blossoms. Illus- 
tiated, page 31. Pkt. 15c: oz. 30c; Vs oz. 50c. (Plants 
each 20c; 3 for 55c: 10 for $1.60.) 
21 DIANTHUS AVALON—erx(2-3) 10. A spectacular beau¬

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; Vs oz. 25c.

always attractive. Blossoms of brilliant rose. Pkt. 10c.
