PETUNIAS. 



For outdoor decoration in summer scarcely any plant 

 equals this. The" Sower the first season, even if sown 

 in the open ground, but usually not before July or Au- 

 gust. If sown in the hot-bed in April they will bloom 

 in June, and !><• larger and finer plants. 

 Petunia Hybrid:!. Finest striped and blotched va- 

 rieties mixed i,rfaved from Peter Henderson's col- 

 lection' -5 



■ N«*w Dwarf Inimitable. Most desirable for 



feneral cultivation inasmuch as it adds to our gardensa 

 etunia Which is! really dwarf. It forms a compact plant 

 from 5 to ti inches high by as much in diameter, and 

 thickly covered with cherry-red flowers, each of which is 

 marked by a whites star; occasionally a few seedlings will 

 appear, whose blooms will be of another hue. This Pe- 

 tunia will be very effective for massing, and admirably 

 adapted for pot-culture. It will be found, a'so. a valu- 

 able sort for market culture, from its dwaif liabit 25

NEW FANCY HYBRID. 



An entirely distinct strain from the ordinary Petunia. 

 The flowers are or Immense size and exquisite colors, 

 shades and markings. Tue double and single Fimbri- 

 ata, sorts have beautifully fringed petals'. The double 



and single '■ M irginata" sorts are bordered with green 

 on each petal, making them very attractive. 



It is- perhaps, not generally understood that the 

 seeds of double Petunias are only obtained by artifici- 

 ally fecundating single blooms' with the pollen from 

 the fouble, making the seed necessarily high-priced, 

 and the progeny cannot be expected to all coii.e 

 double. The finest double Petunias are always grown 

 from seeds; when propagated by cuttings they degen- 

 erate rapidly. (See full-page illustration ha Catalogue

PHLOX. 



Phlox Drum nwn <lii, to which section nearly all the fol- 

 lowing classes and varieties belong, is one of the very 



finest of annual plants, and stands almost unrivaleil 

 tor profusion and duration Of bloom and richness of 

 color. The "Grandiflora," or large-flowering varieties, 

 are a gr<ai improvement over the older sorts, the flow- 

 ers being half as large again, and as freely produced. 

 The Ileynholdii and Nana Compacta c lass are especi- 

 ally line, their habit of growth being dwarf and com- 

 pact and one mass of bloom. Roth these sections have 

 recently been largely grown in pots by florists for mar- 

 ket purposes, with great success — one variety, in fact, 

 P. Beynholdii Alba, does not do well In the open 

 ground, but, pot-grown, it is unsurpassed. Hardy An-
