POPPY— SNOWDRIFT. 



i^pblox J)pummondi^ 



For a splendid mass of color and constant display, Phlox is unrivaled ; the profusion 

 of bloom is remarksble, and a ribbon bed of it is a dazzling sight ; it grows with little 

 trouble, but likes rather rich ground. Seed can be sown where plants are to grow, or 

 transplanted ; have plants about lo inches apart. As it comes true from seed a showy 

 and attractive bed can be had at slight expense ; in fact we know of nothing where one 

 can get as much display and beauty for as little trouble and money. "^e -^visll to 



call particular attention to our Grandiflora varieties of 

 I»lilox; also our Superb Rosemont Mixture of tbe 

 same, wliicli is made up of 26 different colors. Xlie il- 

 lustrations of singrle florets on tliis pag^e will give some 

 idea of the remarkable colors, markings and size of 

 tills grand strain. Only 10 cts. per pkt., 3 pkts. for 25 cts,
