Barbatus ( Sweet William ) (B) This, every old fashioned 
garden had in abundance, but if you haven’t grown the newer 
varieties, you don’t know its glamour. If your soil is not well 
drained, you must treat it as a biennial. With us, it is reliably 
perennial. Plant in masses in the border. If you shear after 
the June flowering the foliage remains passable, and there will 
be sporadic bloom in August and September. 
Diadem (B) Deep crimson, with a well defined white eye. 
Sutton’s Fairy (B) Delicately tinted salmon pink. 
Sutton’s Pink Beauty (B) Salmon pink, deeper than Fairy. 
The best in the world. 
Sutton’s Rich Crimson (B) Deep, dark crimson. Luxurious, 
and curiously enough it clashes with nothing, but enriches the 
whole border. Indispensable, we think, for its vibrant warmth. 
Caesius Grandiflorus ( Cheddar Pinl{) (D) Compact, making 
a tuft of glaucous foliage from which, in early Spring, rise 
fragrant, rosy flowers. Nice for the rockery, io inches. 
Caryophyllus —See Carnation. 
Deltoides ( Maiden Pinl() (C) Prostrate plant, bearing many 
small red flowers in Summer. Good rock plant, well com¬ 
pacted. 
Knappi (E) Unique for its daintiness and its yellow flowers. 
Likes sun and sand. Excellent for the rockery. 
Plumarius Semperflorens (A) Single, continuous flowering, 
if sheared. Possesses a quaintness and humility which are 
appealing. 
“Thy gardens and Thy goodly wallas 
continually are green.” 
DIGITALIS ( Foxglove) 
Ambigua (D) Hardy foxglove, and perennial, bearing in 
June and July its graceful spikes of pale yellow pendant bells, 
flecked with brown. Good for semi-shade. 
Giant Shirley Hybrids (B) Noble biennial known and ad¬ 
mired by the veriest tyro. Especially suitable in partial shade.
