148 ALPINE FLOWERS AND ROCK GARDENS. 



SuperbuSy the " Fringed Pink/' is a splendid plant, 

 bearing heavily fringed pink and white fragrant flowers 

 in August. It grows a foot high or more. It is a 

 short-lived plant, and is generally treated as a biennial, 

 being raised from seed every year. 



In addition to the above species there are many 

 pretty hybrids, notably Fettes Mount and Cyclops, 

 which may be used for the rockery. ThQ flower-lover 

 will make acquaintance with these in the hardy plant 

 nurseries, in the rock-gardens of specialists, or at the 

 shows. They are not so widespread as the best of the 

 species, and not easy to get.
