DIANTHUS or "CHINA PINKS"
DOUBLE^FLOWERING ANNUAL VARIETIES
Crown of Perfection. Most beautiful and satisfactory summer-flowering annuals.
Unrivaled for brilliancy and rich variety of color; the plants are bushy, of symmetrical
form, 1 foot high. The flowers average 6 inches in circumference, are densely double,
and produced in succession during the whole summer and autumn in such numbers as
fairly to crowd each other for room. There is a wonderful diversity of colors, from
purest white to red shades deep and intensely brilliant, soft pinks and flesh tints,
and a large proportion of flowers hieroglyphically marked with various hues, the delicate
tints and deep tones mingling in exquisite contrast. (See cut.)
