Double-Flowering. Finest mixed 26 



Phlox Dbummondii. 



^A^^^e^t PHLOX. 



Phlox Drummondii, to which section nearly all the following 

 classes and varieties belong, is one of the very finest of An- 

 nual plants, and stands almost unrivaled for profusion and 

 duration of bloom and richness of color. Hardy Annuals.

Atropurpurea Striata. Beautifully striped. 10

Finest Mixed Varieties 10 



Granditlora Splendens. A newer variety. 



The flowers are large; bright scarlet, with a conspi- 

 cuous white eye, the centre of which is encircled 



with a well-defined violet edge 15 



Heynholdi. Bright scarlet, dwarf and compact. 10 



— C'ardinalis. (New.) Compact and bushy: 



brilliant scarlet 25 



Perfection. This is distinguished from all 



other sorts of Phlox Heynholdi by its very dwarf and 

 compact growth. The plants form small sphere- 

 shaped bushes, never exceeding four or five inches 

 in height, and are literally covered with beautiful 

 coppery-scarlet flowers, continuing in bloom late 

 into the fall. As it comes quite true from seed it 

 will be well adapted for ribbon lines, massing or 

 wherever a striking effect in flower-beds is to be pro- 

 duced 50 



Decussata. Perennial mixed, saved from named 



varieties 10 



New Large-Flowering. Anew section, whose 



distinctive feature is the large size of the flower, 

 being almost equal to that of the Perennial Phlox, 

 while the flowers in nearly all the varieties have a 

 clearly defined white eye. 



In collections of six varieties (separate) 1 00 



New Dwarf Phlox Drummondii.

its dwarf habit and compact growth.

 scarlet blooms 25 



^^tZ^^x^^ PORTULACA. 



Beautiful and popular Hardy Annuals, of the easiest culture, 

 luxuriating in an exposed sunny situation, and producing 

 throughout the summer their flowers of almost every hue 

 in the greatest profusion. The double Portulaca is one of 

 the finest Annuals in cultivation .

Granditlora Double. Finest mixed. These are 



unsurpassed for brilliancy of color by any Annuals 

 grown 15

Primula Sinensis Flmbbiata. 



PRIMULA (Chinese Primrose). 



Following the English practice, it is usually advised to sow 

 Primula seeds in July and August, but in our hot, dry cli- 

 mate it is very difficult to have them germinate at that sea- 

 son; so, in our own experience, we have found that the best 

 time to sow is in February, March or April . Then sown, 

 the seed germinates freely, and fine plants can be had for 

 winter flowering. The great perfection to which Primulas 

 have been brought render them in attractiveness and value 

 scarcely equaled by any class of plants. 

 Primula Sinensis Fimbriata. Very choice mixed, 



from prize flowers. (See Cut) 50
