A great selection of plants for the sunny border or 
sunny, exposed places in the rock garden or rock wall.

planting of the various Dianthus. In England where 
rock gardening is a W'ell understood art, Dianthus are 
used by the thousands. They are perfectly hardy any¬ 
where. 
Culture. Plant in ordinary good soil, which must con¬ 
tain some lime and should be well drained. Planting 
may be done in fall or early spring, 6 to 10 inches 
apart. In sunny, dry places in the rock garden, rock 
wall or on the margin of the border.
