DIANTHUS LACINIATUS, Double
The varieties of Dianthus known as Chinese Pinks and Japanese
Pinks are among the most brilliant of our garden flowers, and are worthy
of particular care. Tall sorts are from twelve to fifteen inches in
height ; those of the dwarf varieties are only a few inches high, making good pot plants.
Seeds can be sown under glass in the spring, or in an open, sheltered bed ; they are easily
transplanted, and should be set from eight to twelve inches apart — the dwarf varieties
about six inches. Bloom the first summer, and also the second if protected in the winter.
