PETUNIA HP 



Hybridizing has accomplished 

 wonders in this as in other 

 genera of plants. But a few- 

 years back it was deemed im- 

 perative to secure in fall stock plants of all desirable varieties. At 

 the present day this would be waste of time and space, as the excel- 

 lent strains of seed now offered fulfil all wants. Single- and double- 

 flowering, plain or fringed petals, tall or dwarf growth may all be bad 

 remarkably true from seed, and with these goesa degree of vigor that 

 is lacking in plants propagated by cuttings." Petunias are valuable as 

 pot-plants, particularly adapted for vases, baskets, window-boxes, 

 etc., and the dwarf varieties are leaders for bedding. For the latter 

 purpose February and March sowings will be timely. We offer tbe

PHLOX DRUMMONDI FlameFloweD 



A very beautiful and useful class of half-hardy annuals. They are 

 so niany-hued, brilliant, varied and lasting, that few rivals are to be 

 found for elfectiveness from July to fall. To secure good results 

 they should be sown or planted in well-drained soil and thinned out 

 at an early stage to secure sturdy plants,. Full sun exposure suits 

 them best, as in wet or shady situations they are subject to mildew. 

 Seed may be sown outdoors in April and May or earlier indoors and 

 transplanted. All faded trusses of flowers should be removed ere 

 they go to seed. 



Drummondi grandiflora

 florets with distinct eyes, are very fine bedders and useful for cut- 

 tin,;;". 1 to 134 foot apart is not too much space for good soil. 1 ft.
