On Gypsophilas
WE hear a good deal of the "paniculata" Gypaophilas, but comparatively little of the procumbent or creeping forms; yet in the rock gardens they can be used with good effect, more especially if spots can be found where they can trail without detriment to other things growing about them. These Gypeophilas, once established, flower moet freely and continue for a long time, and when flowers are not out make attractive cushion-like plants. Some of these gypaophilas are very dwarf, "carpetera" that love sunny niches in a rock garden; as, for instance, G. cerastioides, which bears innumerable white flowers veined with red, seldom growing more than 3in in height. Trailing forms are to be found in G. alpina (white) and the rose form, and G. prostrata and G. repens.
