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.
