DIANTHUS CHINESE DIANTHUS, or CHINESE PINKS. Best Msxed. One of the most useful and desirable plants, and for beauty and variety of colors and markings cannot be surpassed, ranging from pure white to the most delicate pink and glowing deep crimson. A bed of these in the flower garden will make a grand display at small cost. The mixture I offer includes, besides the standard sorts, all the new and brightest colors in spotted, striped and handsomely fringed varieties of late introduction, both single and double. I guarantee it will give satisfaction with any other strain offered. Pkt., 100 seeds, 4 cts. DIANTHUS, HEDDEWIGGII. Finest Single, Mixed. Flowers two to three inches in diameter. Most beautiful and brilliant colors. Pkt., 100 seeds, 4 cts. DIANTHUS, Dwarf Fsreball. The most brilliant annual pink in cultivation; the plants are constantly covered with blood-red. perfectly double laciniated flowers until checked by severe frosts. Pkt., 100 seeds, 4 cts. DIANTHUS, Dwarf Snowball. This beautiful dwarf variety belongs to the Heddewiggii class of Dianthus. The plants are very compact dwarf growth and are covered with lovely, spotless, snow-white flowers, very full and double. From its dwarf growth it is very attractive for edgings, while the flowers are also very useful for cutting for bouquets. Pkt., lOO seeds, 4 cts. NEW LARGE-FLOWERED DWARF DOUBLE HYBRID PINKS. The plants grow only nino to ten inches high, with extra large double flowers, frequently measuring three inches across—of per- fect form and brilliant colors, ranging from pure white to deep crimson, while many are beautifully variegated and fantastically marked. Blooming freely the first season. Pkt., 100 seeds, 4c. DIANTHUS, PLUMARIUS. (Pheasant's-Eye Pink.) Dianthus, Plumarius, is the old-fashioned Grass Pink. It is perfectly hardy, blooms very profusely in early summer, and is admirable on account of its delicacy, showiness and fragrance. Its use either as a cemetery or garden floweris always satisfactory. Pkt. 100 seeds, 3 cts.
