MULES OR HYBRIDS 61 



D. Courtoisi. The result of a cross between ). barbatus 

 and D. superbus, with brilliant flowers ; makes an excellent 

 rock plant, and is a good doer. 



D. Highclere produces single scarlet-crimson flowers. 

 A good border flower. 



D. imperialis. A supposed mule between a Sweet 

 William and D. chinensis, is generally treated as an 

 annual, along with Indian Pinks. It is a very fine thing, 

 though it is very variable, and many varieties are in 

 cultivation. 



D. Lady Campbell is a clear pink colour, and well worth 

 cultivating. 



D. Lady Dixon. Said to be a cross between a Sweet 

 William and a Clove Carnation ; is a very desirable plant. 

 It was first exhibited in London in 1901, and received an 

 award from the Royal Horticultural Society. The flowers 

 are red-crimson in colour. 



D. Lucy Ireland is a double crimson variety. 



D. Marie Part has been extensively cultivated for 

 many years. The flowers are a pure white, of much 

 beauty, and the plant should find a place in all good 

 gardens. 



D. Crimson Bedder is a perfectly distinct form, estab- 

 lished plants forming cushiony clumps which produce 

 during summer an abundance of dark-coloured double 

 flowers. This variety is eminently suited for an edging 

 plant. It is not known whence it originated, or the 

 parents, but in some respects it approaches D. deltoides, 

 and is propagated in the same manner by division. 



D. dentatus hybridus is a double-flowered form of no 

 great beauty. 



D. Diana. Pale rosy-purple double flowers. 



D. Fettes Mount is a charming free-flowering variety 

 of a rosy colour, the flowers being most abundantly 

 produced. The foliage is apt to suffer from "spot." 

 It is perhaps best increased by means of layers in July
