Dianthus - 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 with- 
out 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.

split calyx. Plants are about 8 inches high and 10 to 12 inches across.

prolific. Two to four flowers grow on a stiff 10-inch stem and are 
perfectly formed. The calyx never splits. The color is a soft Persian 
rose. Habit is perfect; the plant grows in a low, tight mound about 
6 inches high and 10 to 12 inches across. Perfect for an edging to 
walks or beds. This spicy Pink will give you a great amount of pleasure, 
fragrance, prolific blooming, neatness, and last but not least, its abso-
