For a source of fragrance in your garden, few plants, if any, are equal to the various kinds of 
Hardy Carnations and Pinks. Most of them are also useful for cut flowers in the home. The main 
requirement is full sunlight and well-drained soil. Another thing that is really important is that 
the soil be well drained and somewhat light m nature. Avoid putting too much manure or fertilizer 
in it. Practically all Carnation Pinks 
are more or less lime loving; 1f your soil 
has a tendency to be slightly acid, it Is 
advisable that some lime be added and 
mixed thoroughly into it. By selecting 
from the varieties shown on this page, 
which represent one of the finest col- 
lections in the country, you can have 
Pinks and Carnations in bloom from 
spring to fall in your perennial garden 
or rock garden. So much crossing and 
recrossing of the old-fashioned Carna- 
tion with Pinks or Dianthus has been 
done lately that it Is getting pretty 
difficult to determine which may be 
called Pinks and which Carnations; 
therefore, we have combined all of 
them.
