DIANTHUS - Garden Pinks 
A great selection of plants for the sunny border or sunny, exposed 
places in the rock garden or rock wall. In fact, no rock garden is 
complete without a liberal planting of the various Dianthus. In England 
where rock gardening is a well understood art, Dianthus are used by the 
thousands. They are perfectly hardy anywhere. 
Culture. Plant in ordinary good soil, which must contain some lime and 
should be well drained. Planting may be done in fall or early spring, 
6 to 10 inches apart, in sunny, dry places in the rock garden, rock wall 
or on the margin of the border. All love lime and gritty soils.

A choice Hybrid, possessing, it seems, all the good qualities you can 
ask for in a plant. 
First—It is as hardy as an oak. 
Second—Habit of growth is neat, cushion-like and compact. Stems 
are about 12 inches tall. 
Third—It flowers prolifically over a long period, 20 or more flowers 
on a single plant. 
Fourth—Color of the beautifully moulded flowers is rich salmon-pink 
like that of the popular greenhouse Carnation, Laddie. 
Fifth—The calyx does not split as is the case with the old-fashioned 
Clove Pinks. All the flowers are perfectly formed. 
Sixth—tThe flowers, when cut, last a long time. 
Mr. F. F. Rockwell, horticultural writer of note, says, “| think it is a 
knockout. The color is remarkable. It is one of the finest new border 
flowers in a decade.” 
Cwo New Bor der Pinks 
Dianthus, Evangeline Each $1.00, Three $2.75, Doz. $8.50 ° 
A new “Border Pink’’ with a most delightful, spicy, pene- 
trating fragrance. Early in the spring the plants are cov- 
ered with an unbelievable number of flowers. These when 
faded should be removed so that in the early autumn you 
can enjoy a second display of flowers equally as prolific. 
Two to four flowers grow on a stiff 10-inch stem and are 
perfectly formed. The calyx never splits. The color is a 
soft Persian rose. Habit is perfect; the plant grows in a 
low, tight mound about 6 inches high and 10 to 12 inches 
across. Perfect for an edging to walks or beds. This spicy 
pink will give you a great amount of pleasure. Fragrance, 
prolific blooming, neatness and last but not least, its 
absolute hardiness and ease of culture make it a ‘‘must’’ 
in every garden. 

Dianthus, Dinah Each $1.00, Three $2.75, Doz. $8.50 
This ‘Border Pink’’ is the companion to Evangeline. It 
is just as spicily fragrant, just as prolific flowering in 
spring and autumn. The color is a deep Persian rose with 
maroon center. The flower stems are perhaps 12 inches 
long with about 2 to 6 flowers on a single stem which 
is stiff and just right for cutting. The flowers are per- 
fectly formed, never a split calyx. Plants are about 8 
inches high and 10 to 12 inches across. Good for fore- 
ground in the border or as an edging to walks and paths. 
Its spicy fragrance, freedom of bloom, hardiness, neat- 
ness of plant and ease of culture will make this ‘‘Border 
Pink’’ a garden favorite everywhere.
