pink flushed with white, lilac and purple. It 

 only grows about a foot in height, but gives a 

 constant amount of color. 



Schizanthus, or butterfly-flower, is an 

 annual well worth growing. It comes in many 

 colors and is continually covered with flowers, 

 white, pink and lilac. When three or more 

 are grown in a large pot, it makes a hand- 

 some decoration for the terrace. 



The old-fashioned Phlox Drummondi has 

 been greatly improved and is now a very effec- 

 tive annual, not only for color in the garden, 

 but also as a household decoration. The 

 Phlox Drummondi does very well when sown 

 directly where it is to bloom. 



All of these annuals need only to be sown 

 in rows in the seed-bed as soon as the ground 

 is warm in the spring, watered late in the day, 

 and when the plants are about three inches 

 high transplanted where it is intended that 

 they shall bloom.
