DESMODIUM (See page 177) 
DIANTHUS - Garden Pinks 
A great selection of plants for the sunny border or sunny, exposed 
places in the rock garden or rock wall. In fact, no rock garden is 
complete without a liberal planting of the various Dianthus. In England 
where rock gardening is a well understood art, Dianthus are used by the 
thousands. They are perfectly hardy anywhere. 
Culture. Plant in ordinary good soil, which must contain 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. All love lime and gritty soils.
