taI.ARGE-FI.O\%'ERING DIVARF PHI.OX. 



Of all summer-flowering annuals the varieties of Phlox Drummondii aie un([uestionably 

 one of the most brilliant and satisfactory. Seed may be sown in the ojjen giound any 

 time after danger from frost is past, and in a few weeks the 



beds or borders are aglow with their brilliant coloring and re- ^^\ 



main so until cut down by frost. While the regular Grandi- <r%,£MiD:. '^ 



flora type bears fine heads of bloom, it is somewhat tall and 

 straggly, while the Nana Conipacta sorts have comparatively 

 smalt panicles and intlividual flowers. In this new type we 

 have the happy medium, combining the size of the individual ^=^ 



flower and head of the finest Grandiflorns with the dwarf, ^^ 



compact growth of the Nana Compacta sorts; altogether a s^^ v ^ ir >)i 



perfect combination, and one that will recommend itself to all .^^it \^'^^«-1lm^ t

 the most popular of all

 tissue-paper-like fineness

 way to the type, except in

 suitable for many posi- 

 tions for which the taller- 

 growing parent is un- 

 suited. Charming for cut- 

 ling, for which purpose 

 they should be cut in the 

 bud state. 20 cts. per
