Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Dick picked this extremely tight form with good blue color from a batch of Piatek's seedlings, by far the best of the bunch, this promises to be a very good plant, the more we see of it the better we like it, I'd say it ranks with the finest Dianthus we have ever grown.
