Phlox Quedlinburg. 
PHLOX DRUMMONDI. Annvml. 
The various varieties of this flower 
are nott^ for extreme richness of 
color, profuseness of blossom and 
length of duration in bloom. It is 
one of our finest annuals, and, 
whether in Ixxis, clumps or masses, 
looks equally beautiful. 
ORANDIFLORA. Tall, large flow- 
ering sorts. Our seed has been care- 
fully collected from the best large 
flowering varieties. 
1. Prince Arthur. We arc proud of this magnificent large flowering white varie- 
ty which we introduced several sea-sons ago, as it ha-s proven to be of the greatest- 
value for cutting to be u.sed in Ixiuquets. The strain lias been carefully saved and 
will produce great clusters of snow white blo.ssoms. Pkt. lOc. 
2. Queen Victoria. (See cut.) An immense flowering wliite variety bearing great 
clusters of flowers on strong, stiff stems 18 or 20 inches liigh. Se<xl sown in the early 
spring will begin to flower by July and tlie plants vAM be literally covered with blos- 
soms until late in the autumn. It is extensively u.sed by florists in cut flower worlc 
and is very desirable for Imuquets. Pkt. 15c. 
3. I.tabelllna. The most novel color in all this class of flowers. Blossoms open a 
delicate cream yellow which frequently shades to clear light salmon. Splendid for 
cutting to be used in bouquets, et<j. A new shade in this grand collection of summer 
favorites. Pkt. lOc.

nee<ling no protection, and will flourish in any 
soil. The mixture which we offer produces 
an almost endless variety of colors, tints 
and markings ranging from 
pure white to crimson, pink

PORTULACA. Moas Rose. Annual. Valuable dwarf growing little- 
plants that will make a dazzling disjiloy wlien grown in a bed. They 
usually begin to flower the latter iiart of June, blooming abundantly

sandy soil and dry location.

8. Single Scarlet. A bright shade. Pkt. 5c. 
4. Rose. A delicately tinted variety. Pkt. 5c. 
5. Carnation Striped. Very showy. Pkt. lOc. 
6. Single Mixed. All colors. Pkt. SC. 
7. Double nixed. Tliis strain of Portulaca is by far the most bainfi- 
ful we have ever seen. The flowers are of every con<?eivable shade, and. 
resemble in form little "moss roses." Our experience is that the seed 
will produi* nearly 60 per cent double flowers, although some firms: 
claim a larger percentage. We are certain of one thing, however, and 
that is, our strain will produce as great an amount of double flow- 
ers as any that can be secured. Pkt. 15c. 
PVRETHRUM. Hardy Perennial. Handsome, hardy herbaceous plants 
of rapid growth and easy culture. They usually grow about 15 or 18 in-

rich yf^Uow foUage. Grows about 10 or 12 inches high and is very fine 
for bedding iiurpo.ses. Pkt. 5c.

variety as the foliage is very finely fringed and of a rather more grace- 
ful appejirance. Pkt. lOc. 
CACALIA. Ta.isHFUiwer, or Flora's Paint Brush. Annual. A neat 
annual, of easy culture, with taasel shap«l flowers : blooms from June
