Phlox Drummondi 



Phlox Drummondi 



(Large Flowering) Unequalled in the magnificeiit display of their many and 

 brilliantly colored flowers. The plants are hardy bush-like annuals with many 

 broad flat-topped clusters of nearly round and star-shaped flowers. They are 



of easiest culture and bloom profusely through a long season. Especially attractive in masses or ribbon beds of contrasted 



colors; useful as window-garden plants and very desirable for combining in mixed bouquets. 



Seed is usually sown very early in spring outdoors in rows one foot apart. A sunny situation is desirable. Well pulverized 



soil, preferably rich and mellow, should be used and the seed, which germinates rather slowlv, covered with about one-fourth 



inch of fine soil firmly pressed down. Thin to four inches apart. For very early blooming, seed may be sown outdoors in fall, 



or started indoors and transplanted early in April. Hardy annual; one foot high.

Pinks 



{Dianthus) The Pinks are old- fashioned favorites and as a class r.re more varied in color than the 



Carnations but lack their fragrance. Both the single and double Pinks are well adapted for bedding and 



borders, and are suitable also for cutting as the stems are of good length and the brilliantly colored 



flowers often one and one-half to two inches across, contrast vividly with the rather narrow bright 



light green leaves. The Pinks are annuals and not perennials like the Carnation. 



Seed may be sown in the open ground in spring after danger of frost is past, in the place where the plants are wanted 



to bloom. Use well pulverized soil, preferably sandy loam. Make the rows one foot to fifteen inches apart and cover the seed 



with one-fourth inch of fine soil firmly pressed down. When two inches high, thin six to eight inches apart. Plants compact, 



bushy, usually about one foot high.
