ks. This magnificent new strain of Pinks produces an entirely new series of colors of endlessvariety and unapproachable beauty, the flowers having an added value because of their clove-like perfume.The individual blossoms are round and very large, fully six inches in circumference, with broad overlappingpetals, and are borne in wondrous amplitude, completely sheeting the plants from May until frost withexquisite combinations of colors, the predominating shades being delicate rose, flesh pink, copper color,salmon, dregs of wine red, white, bright crimson, etc., the beauty of each flower being further enlivened bya large eye-like zone of velvety blood-red, making a strikingly beautiful contrast. The plants grow 12 to 16 inches high, are of sturdy and vigorous habit, and will bloom the first season ifthe seeds are sown reasonably early; continuing to flourish and bloom for several years.
