D. Little Joe. Originated in Mr. Borsch’s nursery several years ago. It 
was the only one of 800 seedlings that was saved, saved because of its 
beautiful robust blue-gray foliage, its deep crimson blooms and its 
long blooming period which begins in May and continues well into 
fall. Because it was such an energetic and good little “doer” it was 
named Dianthus Little Joe after Mr. Borsch’s small son who at that 
time was toddling about the nursery and “helping” from morning 
till night. 50c.
