DIANTHUS, IRENE (4bove) 
(Plant Patent No. 747) 
Wost Pragrant 
of r#Ul Garden Pinks 
(Dianthus caryophyllus.) The fragrance of Irene is one of its out- 
standing qualities . . . literally drenches the garden with old- 
fashioned, clove-scented fragrance unequaled by any other garden 
Pink. Flowers themselves are produced continuously, the new 
buds opening as the old ones finish. One 8-in. plant in our garden 
had over 60 flowers last spring. Irene is an exquisite shade of 
pink, bearing 2- to 214-in., very double flowers, averaging about 
60 petals each. The sturdy stems are 12 to 15 in. long. and the 
plant makes a solid mound of color in the garden. A sport of 
England's top-favorite white Carnation, Mrs. Sinkins, this new 
and unusually free- flowering Carnation was found by Mrs. Rene 
Hague in her garden in Toronto, Canada.
