’■ DELPHINIUM (Larkspur). These thrive to a certain extent in any or¬ 
dinary garden soil, but like many other garden plants, the finest results 
can be gained only by giving them special care. It is necessary to work 
the soil to a good depth, with plenty of well-composted manure mixed in. 
Give each plant plenty of room. The taller species are fine for the back 
of the mixed border, where they make a superb 
show in blooming time.

DIANTHUS (Pink). These succeed very well in 
ordinary rich, loamy soil. If, however, large 
flowers are desired, it is necessary to prepare a 
bed for them. It should be raised above the 
common level, and made up of turf-loam, leaf- 
mold and well-composted manure. If the soil is 
naturally heavy, enough sand should be used to 
counteract this. When large blooms are desired, 
a portion of the blooms should be removed. 
This, however, is not necessary for border dec¬ 
oration, where rich masses of bright bloom are 
more desirable than superior individual flowers.
