a very sandy loam best. The type has pink flowers 

 with a dark centre, but there are many varieties, such as 

 Brightness, rose ; Daisy Hill, rose with carmine centre ; 

 frondosa, rose ; G. F. Wilson, mauve ; Grandiflora, 

 rose, crimson eye ; Lilacina, lavender, Nelsoni, white ; 

 Newry Seedling, lilac ; The Bride, white, and Vivid, rose. 

 Wherever there is room a collection of the Moss Pinks 

 should be grown, for they are briUiant flowers, and will 

 give charming patches of colour.
