Fix this textTHE PINK.
Fix this textThis is a well-known and popular flower, Avhose delicate beauty
Fix this textand delicious fragrance is appreciated by most people. It is
Fix this textclosely allied to the Carnation and Picotee, and is known in
Fix this textbotanical works as Dianthus hortensis. The generic name comes
Fix this textfrom dios, divine, and anthos, a flower, in allusion to its exquisite
Fix this textfragrance, and signifies literally the flower of the gods. The
Fix this textEnglish name Pink, is said by some writers to be derived from a
Fix this textDutch word meaning an eye. Others, however, assert that the
Fix this textname comes from the German word Pinksten, Whitsuntide, on
Fix this textaccount of the flowers being plentiful at that season. Botanically
Fix this textthe Pink belongs to the natural order Caryophyllacese (Silenaceay
Fix this textof some authors).
Fix this textThough classed as a species, the origin of the Pink is obscure,,
Fix this textand botanists are undecided as to the source from which it has
Fix this textcome. Some suppose Dianthus plurnarius to be the original
Fix this texttype, others, I). deltioides, D. armeria, D. carthusianorum, and
Fix this textD. caryophyllus (the Carnation). Some writers assert that the
Fix this textclass known as Pheasant Eye Pinks have been obtained from D.
Fix this textplurnarius, while the larger kinds have originated from D.
Fix this textcaryophyllus.
Fix this textThe Pink has been a very popular flower in Great Britain since
Fix this textthe time of Elizabeth, at which period it appears to have been
Fix this textwell known. At that time and for a long period after, it was
Fix this textcommonly known as the Wild Gilliflower, the prefix being used
Fix this textto distinguish it from the Carnation, then called the Clove Gilli-
Fix this textflower. It was held in great esteem by our British forefathers,
Fix this textand the flowers were regarded as an emblem of pure affection and
Fix this textpurity of sentiment. In many other parts of Europe this plant
Fix this texthas also been for a long period highly prized, and it is recorded
Fix this textthat the great Cond6, while a prisoner in the Bastile, amused
Fix this textIt's easy and takes two shakes of a lamb's tail!
