Phlox Drummondi 



Phlox Drummond 



(Large Floicering) Unequalled in the magnificent 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 slowly, 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.

(^Dianthus) The Pinks are old-fashioned favorites and as a class are more varied in color than the Carna- 

 tions 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. 



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.
