DIANTHUS, Linn. From dios, divine, and anthos,
a flower ; in reference to the fragrance of the
blossoms,' and the unrivalled neatness of the
flowers. Linn. 13, Or. 2, Kat. Or. Garyopliyllàoeoe.
A truly beautiful and ornamental
genus, containing some of the most prized
llowers we possess, on account of their beauty
and fragrance ; the foliage of the perennial
kinds is also as green and vivid in winter as it
is in summer. The rarer species 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, or decayed
leaves and sand. They maybe increased by
seeds, layers, cuttings, and division of the
roots. The cuttings should be planted out
under a glass, about the middle of June, and
if on a gentle hotbed, they will be ready for
planting in the open ground in about three
weeks. The annual and biennial kinds merely
require sowing in the open border, where they
will grow and flower freely. Synonymes: 1, D.
