SHRUBS, VINES, PLANTS AND BULBS 



September and kept covered all winter. The 

 August-sown seed will bloom the middle of 

 the following May, and seed sown in April 

 will bloom the end of June. This familiar 

 flower is good for borders, around flower- 

 beds, or as a carpet with tall-growing plants. 

 There are many varieties. 



Petunia, Double Lakge-flowering, 

 Single Large-flowering, Single Bed- 

 ding and Rosy Morn. 1 to 1}^ feet. The 

 seed should be sown indoors and transplanted 

 to the open ground in May. Blooms from 

 June. Wholly unlike the old-fashioned petunia. 

 The flowers are of great size, single or double. 

 Many varieties are fringed, and come in the 

 most beautiful colors. It is a revelation to 

 see what the hybridizer has done with a plain, 

 old-fashioned, and rather unpopular, flower. 



Phlox Drummondii. 6 to 12 inches. Sow 

 seed in the open ground as soon as all danger 

 of frost is past. Transplant later to where they 

 are to bloom. Blooms continuously from a 

 few weeks after the seed is sown until frost-
