Dianthus 
Of all plants for sunny locations, either in the 
border, as an edging plant, or in a rock garden, 
nothing surpasses the Dianthus in quantity of 
bloom or attractiveness of foliage. No peren- 
nial border or rock garden is complete with- 
out generous plantings of these spicy, fragrant, 
practically everblooming flowers. They require 
a sunny, well-drained location with plenty of 
lime in the soil. Keep them blooming by re- 
moving all dead flowers.
