TI-IE AMATEUR’S FLOWER GARDEN. 
grass-like leaves and small purple or white flowers. In like 
manner D. plumarius , the wild pink, may be adopted as an 
“ interesting ” plant to decorate rockeries and ruins, though 
its white or purple fringed flowers must occupy one of the 
lowest places in the ranks of floral beauty. D. superbus , the 
superb pink, is a fine border and rock plant with pink, purple, 
or white flowers, and deeply divided petals. D. cruentus , the 
sanguineous pink, resembles the sweet-william, but is less 
robust; on a dry sunny border or rockery it produces an 
abundant display of its fine blood-crimson flowers. D. dentosus , 
the toothed pink, is a dwarf tufted plant, with large purplish 
flowers, that requires a warm dry border or sunny nook in a 
rockery. D. hybridus , the mule pink, is of small growth and 
extremely pretty, the flow’ers ranging from white to scarlet 
in colour in the several varieties, of which there are about 
half-a-dozen. The last-named section is admirably suited 
for pot-culture, and are particularly valuable to supply cut 
flowers in winter.
