BUCKBEE'S STARRED 

 AND FRINGED PHLOX. 



These Starred and Fringed Phloxes are really 

 entitled to rank as a new race, and the most 

 striking novelties in Phloxes ever introduced. 

 In the fringed flowers the petals are partly 

 fimbriate and partly tlxree-toothed, all dis- 

 tinctly bordered with white, which, together 

 with the bright eyo of tl o center, contrasts 

 with the magnificent velvety colors, in more 

 than twenty distinct shades. In the Starred 

 Phloxes the pointed central tooth of the 

 petals are five to six times as long as the 

 lateral ones and project beyond them like 

 little spines, giving the flowers a dis- 

 tinctly marked, regular star-like form. 

 In finest mixture. Pkt. 5c
