New Dianthus Heddensis, Westwood | 
Beauty 
Honorable Mention, All-America Selections 
As the type implies, this new Dianthus is the result of a cross be- 
tween Dianthus Heddewigi and Dianthus chinensis, combining the 
large open flowers of Heddewigi and the long stems of Chinensis. 
Flowers single, 114 to 214 inches, deeply Iaciniated. The color is 
somewhat variable, in shades of crimson and scarlet, some having 
attractive white edgings. Average height 16 inches. We believe this 
new Dianthus will become a good florist item, as well as a garden 
favorite. Trade pkt. 30c; oz. $1.80
