MEG. GARDNER 
Each year that this is with us, we become 
more and more convinced that Meg. Gard- 
ner is tops in the Sweet Pinks group and

any variety to surpass it. It’s a_ plant 
with a personality, difficult to describe but 
immediately captivating. A medium dwarf 
variety, produces distinct white flowers with a 
vivid crimson center, each one a delicate min- 
iature that might well have sprung from an 
artist’s brush. These are neatly arranged over 
compact plants, foliage steel gray.
