 habit, and are covered all season with a profusion of beautiful flowers 

 of every color one could desire. The seed can be sown early in open 

 ground, and plants transplanted even if they have commenced to

Phlox Drummondi. 



For a splendid mass of color and constant display. Phlox is un- 

 rivaled ; the profusion of bloom is remarkable, 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 10 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. We wish to call particular atten- 

 tion to our Grandiflora varieties of Phlox; also our 

 Superb Mixture of the same, which is made up of 28 

 different colors. The illustration on this page will give 

 some idea of the remarkable colors and markings 

 of this grand strain. Only 10 cts. per pkt.; 3 pkts. for
