 best in a rich soil and sunny situation. 

 some petunias are of a trailing habit and 

 s.iiue are quite erect. Many are deli- 

 ciousiy fragrant.

 great merit as a bedder on account of

The annual and perennial phloxes are 

 not rivaled among garden flowers in

 growing, healthy plants, with pretty fo- 

 liage, and belong in every garden. I 

 offer the old-fashioned favorites as well 

 as the newest types. The annual phloxes

 should be taken up and the roots sepa- 

 rated and set in new soil at least once in 

 three years. (See Novelties.)
