Buckbce's Prize Medal PHLOA 



Very hardy annuals, thriving in almost any situation. One of the very best of all 

 bedding annuals is the Phlox Druuimondii. The various varieties of this flovyer surpass 

 almost everything else in dazzling brilliancy of color, profuseness of blooms and length 

 of duration in bloom. The newer sorts of Phlox are so far ahead of the older varieties 

 that we have discarded all of the latter, and offer none but those beautiful new ones 

 of recent introduction. The Phloxes make beautiful ribbon beds when different colors 

 are sown side by side, and are also grand for masses either of solid or mixed colors. 

 For cutting for bouquets they are unsurpassed. 



HORTENSIA FLOWERED 



PHLOX. 2 



This is undoubtedly one of the hand- 

 somest species of the Phlox family. They 

 are more floriferous than the others ; the 

 flowers are large, of good substance and of 

 handsomest colors, and are borne in large 

 umbels, just like a Hydrangea, hence their 

 name.

 dered with white, which 

 together with the bright

 trasts with the 

 magnificent

 always erect. Grandest of All Phloxes.
