DianthOs , Linn. From dios, divine, and anihos, a
flower ; in reference to the fragrance of the blossoms,
and the unrivalled neatness of the flowers. Linn.
13, Or. 2, Nat. Or. Siienacex. A truly beautiful
and ornamental genus, containing some of the most
prized flowers we possess, on account of the beauty
and fragrance of their flowers, and their foliage,
which is as green and vivid in winter as it is in
D I A D I A
summer. The rarer kinds should be grown in
pots, so that they can be protected in winter. They
all delight in light loamy soil, mixed with a little
rotten dung, of decayed leaves and sand. They
may be increased bv seeds, or cuttings; the last
method is preferable. The cuttings should be
planted out under a glass, about the middle of
J u n e , and if they be planted on a gentle hotbed,
they will be ready for planting out in about three
weeks. The annual and biennial kinds merely
require sowing in the open border, wher« they
wi 1 grow and flower freely. Synonymes: 1. D.
