ONE NEVER HAS ENOUGH GARDEN PINKS 

Dianthus .- Pinks HA, HP 
_In this large and greatly varied genus are some of our most beau- 
tiful and best-loved flowers, unsurpassed for color and fragrance. 
They are hardy biennials that bloom freely the first season, remain- 
ing green all winter and blooming the next year also, if lightly pro- 
tected. Old plants flower the earliest, but as young ones give the 
largest, finest flowers, sowings are made every year. Seed may be 
sown in the open in early spring when the danger of frost is past and 
if the situation is open and the ground is well prepared, they will 
flower luxuriantly in a few weeks’ time and continue until hard 
frost. For best results, seedlings should be thinned out to have 
plants stand 6 inches apart. They average 1 foot in height and are 
splendid for borders and for cutting.
