Buckb ee' s Prize Medal PHLOX 



Very hai'dy annuals, thriving in almost any situation. One of the very best of all 

 bedding annuals is the Phlox Druramondii. The various varieties of this flower surpass 

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

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

 tliat we have discarded all of the latter, and offer none but those bcauliful new ones 

 of recent introduction. The Phloxes make beautiful ribbon beds when dilTercnt 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. ^

 umbels, just like a Hydrangea, hence their 

 name.
