io8 CARNATIONS AND PINKS 



allowed to break before being removed to their per- 

 manent quarters, which is on soil of a rather binding, 

 sandy loam, to which we add rough leaf soil, river 

 sand, and old lime rubbish, and in this mixture we 

 find that they do well. To secure fine flowers dis- 

 budding should be practised the same way as for the 

 Carnation." 



D. Spencer Bickham. This is a cross between D. 

 caesius and D. deltoides. It is a plant of quite dwarf 

 growth, not more than a few inches high, and is for 

 that reason suitable for the rock-garden. The colour 

 of the flowers is crimson with a shade of rose in it. 



D. superbus. An unfortunate name for a Mule 

 Pink, as D. superbus is a species. The Mule has very 

 sweetly scented flowers, crimson in colour, double, 

 and it remains in bloom over a long season. 



D. Warley. A beautiful seedling from Cyclops, and 

 raised by Miss Willmott. It is very free, and the 

 flowers are exceptionally brilliant in colouring, which 

 is intense crimson, with a dark base to the petals.
