PHtOX PERENNIAL. 



The varieties of Perennial Phlox are among the choic- 

 est of our flowers for bedding and border plants. They 

 are perfectly hardy, and need no protection; will flourish 

 in any soil, succeeding better, however, in deep, rich, 

 rather moist ground. 



Phlox Perennial, mixed, seeds saved from the 

 newest splendid sorts 15 



PINK— fDianthus). 



The family of Dianthus is by far the most useful of 



all the biennials and perennials, and for beauty and va- 

 riety cannot be surpassed. The delicacy and richness of 

 the tints, combined with the aromatic fragrance of 

 many of the species, are valuable recommendations for 

 the entire family. 



Dianthus, Chinensis, fl. pi. (Double China 

 Pink), this species is a biennial of dwarf 

 habit; flowers the first year, but the bloom is 

 stronger the second. The colors are very 

 rich, and in large beds you can hardly find 

 two alike. Seeds saved from double flowers 

 will produce double ones 5 



'• Chinensis Heddewigii, single mixed, flow- 

 ers deeply fringed or feathered; very fragrant 

 and of the most brilliant colors. Hardy, one 

 of the finest annuals 5

 Pink), saved exclusively from Mr. Turner's 

 very best varieties of show pinks; extra 50 



" Chinensis. Heddewigii, fl. pi. (Hedde- 

 wig's Pink), flowers very large and double, 

 having a diameter of nearly three inches; of 

 various shades of brilliant colors, almost un- 

 surpassed. An elegant acquisition. Half- 

 hardy biennial 10 



" Chinensis, laciniatus, fl. pi. (Double Japan 

 Pink), to be properly appreciated, these 

 should be seen, as it is impossible to convey in 

 words any idea of their beauty. Rich in hue, 

 very double, deeply fringed petals — only 

 lacking fragrance to make them perfect. 

 Half-hardy biennial 10 



" Heddewigii diadematus (Double Diadem 

 Pink), this is of denser growth than the 

 Heddewigii, and of dwarfer habit. Very 

 regular, densely double, and of all tints, from 

 crimson-purple to deep black-purple. It has 

 often a velvet like, radiant fire, impossible to 

 reproduce 10 



" Chinensis imperialis, fl. pi. (Double Im- 

 perial Pink,), a superb double variety from 

 China c 



Pink, Dianthus, Eastern Queen.
