FLOWER SEEDS 



rummonc 



PHLOX decussata grandiflora. HP. Hardy 

 Phlox. Fine, new, large-flowering varieties in 

 splendid mixture. These make a wonderful show 

 if planted in clumps or masses and give a profu- 

 sion of bloom all season. Seed germinates slowly 

 and irregularly over a period of six months or 

 more. 3 feet. Pkt. 15 cts. 



Phlox Drummondii (flame flower) 



A very beautiful and useful class of haif-hardy annuals. They are so many-hued, 

 brilliant, varied and lasting, that few rivals are to be found for effectiveness from July 

 to fall. To secure good results, they should be sown or planted in well-drained soil 

 and thinned out at an early stage to secure sturdy plants. Full sun exposure suits 

 them best, as in wet or shady situations they are subject to mildew. Seed may be 

 sown outdoors in April and May, or earlier indoors and transplanted. All faded trusses 

 of flowers should be removed before they go to seed. 



PHLOX NANA COMPACTA 



Dwarf; compact. These are elegant for beds, edging, and nice for pot-plants. They 

 may be planted or thinned to 8 inches space. They will average 6 inches in height.

as the Grandiflora class. Very handsome for bedding. 6 inches. Finest Mixed. Pkt.
