carefully. 
Dianthus cinnabarinus (Greece). 
As this plant throws up long-stemmed, compact 
flower-heads to a height of from 12in. to 18in. it 
should be planted well back on the rockery, although 
the foliage keeps close to the ground. Plant in a 
well-drained, sunny position, on the flat or on a slope, 
in any aspect, in equal parts of poor loam and fine 
grit. 
Dianthus cruentus (Greece, etc.). 
Treat like Dianthus cinnabarinus. _ 
Dianthus Freynii (Hungary). 
This is probably the smallest Dianthus known, 
but still interesting on account of its bright little 
flowers and neat, compact habit. Plant on a well- 
drained and dry bank, in fine, sandy loam. Like the 
other kinds of Dianthus, this plant should be top- 
dressed once or twice in the year. Spring is the best 
time for dividing or replanting it. 
Dianthus glacialis (Alps of Europe). 
This is perhaps the rarest and certainly the 
most difficult to grow of all the Pinks; indeed, a 
really good clump of it is probably extremely un- 
common. Plant on a sloping bank with a south- 
west aspect, in a mixture of loam, leaf-mould, and as 
much sand as is necessary to keep the compost open. 
The plant should be top-dressed once or twice a year, 
or as often as the soil gets washed away from it, the 
top-dressing being put carefully among the young
