PHLOX DRUMMONDII. 



Remarkable 

 for the brillian- 

 cy and abund- 

 ance of their 

 large, terminal 

 flowers, com- 

 pletely hiding

 blossoms are of 

 many colors, 

 from pure 

 white to deep- 

 est purple, ej'ed

 For masses of 

 separate colors 

 and for cutting 

 f o r bouquets, 

 they are unsur- 

 surpassed. The 

 seed can be planted in open ground in autumn or spring, 

 or plants may be started in hot-bed, and transplanted. 

 Give good, rich ground, and set plants six inches apart 

 each way. Hardy annual ; one foot high.
