DIANTHUS OR PINKS Dianthus DT-an'-thus. (Pink.) This interesting genus, em- braces some of the most popular flowers in cultiva- tion, and produces a great variety of brilliant colors and profusion of bloom. The varieties classed as annuals are really biennials, but are treated as an- nuals and may be sown out of doors when the dan- ger from frost is past, and in a few weeks* time they are a mass of bloom, continuing so until after hard frost. As a rule, they survive the winter if given slight protection, flowering abundantly the following season. They grow about a foot high and can be .used in beds or borders of solid or mixed colors. The double-flowering sorts are almost as satisfactory as Carnations for cutting. They are not particular as to soil, but should have a sunny loca- tion. Old plants flower earlier, but new plants give finer, larger flowers—therefore sow every year. Double Annual Pinks ?«S£££ Z^gji CHINENSIS PL. PL. Large, double, fragrant flow- ers.
