DIANTHUS (Hardy Garden Carnations) 
“Garden Pinks,” as most frequently described, are becoming 
very popular. They begin to flower in late May and continue to 
do so profusely throughout the season, if not permitted to go 
ta seed. While not as large in flower as the greenhouse types, 
they are nice cut-flower specimens and very fragrant. 
}-Beatrix—Beautiful deep salmon pink in color. Individual 
flowers about the size of a 50c piece, and freely produced in 
May and June. Very fragrant. 
Little Joe—Impossible to beat this novelty with its distinct 
blue foliage as a contrast to the large crimson flowers, flower- 
ing the entire Summer. Height, 12 inches. 
Lueia—A deep rose-pink Carnation with salmon shadings very 
heavily serrated at the edges of the petals. A grand cut flower 
subject. Price: 50e per plant, $5.00 per dozen. 
Old Spice (Patent 499)—This Novelty Hybrid Dianthus pos- 
sesses all the good qualities asked for in a plant. It is as hardy 
ag an oak tree with the habit of growth neat, cushion-like and | 
compact on stems twelve inches tall. Flowers prolifically over 
long period with twenty or more flowers on a single plant. 
Color of these beautiful, molded flowers is rich Salmon-Pink, 
almost the same shade as the greenhouse Carnation “Laddie.” 
Calyx does not split and all flowers are perfectly formed. The 
spicy Carnation fragrance will delight you, particularly when 
used as a cut flower subject. They last a week or more in 
water. Price: 60e each, $5.00 per dozen. 
+ Peppermint Stick—A dainty, new hardy Carnation about 
the size and color of Beatrix in the individual flowers but 
splashed through the petal with crimson red. A nice acquisi- 
tion to the hardy Carnation family. Price: 50c each, 
$5.00 per dozen, $35.00 per 100. 
+*Plumaris (Perpetual Pink )—The old-fashioned hardy 
pinks with that elusive spicy clove fragrance. They range from 
white with red eye to deep pink. These delightful plants re- 
quire well-drained soil and full sun. 
+*Silvermine — Pure white sport of “Beatrix” with much 
larger flowers. Very healthy foliage and habit of growth as 
well as being extremely fragrant. Height, 12 inches. Price: 
50e each, $5.00 per dozen, $35.00 per 100. 
DICTAMNUS (Gasplant or Burningbush ) 
An old garden favorite which has a strong smell of lemon and 
will sometimes give a flash of light on a sultry Summer evening 
when a lighted match is held near the flowers. Succeeds well 
in partial shade or full sun. Should not be moved after once 
established. 
+Fraxinella Rubra—Rosy pink blooms in early Spring; 
glossy, handsome foliage throughout the season. 3 feet high, 
suitable for border or specimen plant. Price: GOc per 
plant, $6.00 per dozen. 
+Fraxinella Alba—Pure white form of above. Price: 60¢e 
per plant, $6.00 per dozen. 
DIELYTRA (Bleeding Heart) 
*Eximia (Fringed Bleeding Heart)—A dwarf Bleeding 
Heart that literally blooms all season. It grows about 12 to 15 
inches high, has very finely cut foliage, and graceful racemes 
of pink, heart-shaped flowers. It comes into bloom in May and 
flowers until late October. 
+S pectabilis—Graceful, heart-shaped, pink flowers; one of the 
choicest memories of old-fashioned gardens. Especially valuable 
for planting in shady spots. 2 feet. April and May. Price: 
60c per plant, $6.00 per dozen.
