PMox Drummondii. 



PETUNIA. 



Few plants will make a more showy bed than the Petunias, 

 giving flowers from early summer until fall. Their richness 

 of color, fragrance and continued blooming make them gen- 

 eral favorites. It is likewise one of the leading flowers for 

 window display, and few for this purpose can be more beauti- 

 ful or satisfactory, as they are always full of bloom, and are 

 particularly showy.

PHI.OX DRUMMONDII. 



These, for a splendid mass 

 of colors and constant display, 

 are not excelled by any other 

 annuals or perennials. The 

 colors range from the purest 

 white to the deepest blood pur- 

 ple or crimson. Seed may be 

 sown in the open ground in 

 May, or in hot-bed or cold 

 frame earlier, and during sum- 

 mer and autumn they make a 

 brilliant bed of showy, yet 

 delicate flowers. A good ribbon 

 bed of Phlox is a dazzling sight, 

 and there is nothing so cheap. 

 The finest efl'ect, however, is 

 produced by planting each 

 color in a separate bed, its con- 

 stant blooming making it 

 highly desirable for bedding 

 purposes. For ribbon beds, 

 good contrast of colors should 

 be secured. H. A., 1% feet.

 favor, clothed in new and richer vestments, assuming colors, 

 shapes and hues unknown in the past, and we are forced to 

 admit that it is most welcome and far more beautiful than
