Nobilis DIANTHUS 
A Grand Annual Pink. Many gardeners will recognize this annual 
Pink as the flower we asked them to try out in their gardens two 
years ago. From their reports and from results in our own Display 
Grounds we give it a prominent place in this book. While not a 
new variety by any means, it really is a very lovely and satisfactory 
annual flower. Not at all difficult to grow; it makes a plant some 
12 inches tall, bushy growing and literally covered all season with 
large, strong-stemmed, single flowers of remarkable beauty. Find 
a place for it in your 1944 garden. You, also, will be enthusiastic 
about it. Pkg. 10c
