Novelties & Si’ecialities for 18S9, oefeued by WILLIAM BULL, F.L.S. 7 
PHLOX DRUMMONDII FIMBRIATA. 
Tins, nnd the following novelty, ini- 
tiates a new and. pleasing departure 
from the old type of Phlox Drum- 
inondii, both varieties having become 
thoroughly fixed in character after 
several years’ cultivation. It g^ows 
about twenty inches in height and 
produces in an umbellate form its 
elegant and attractive flowers in the 
most abundant manner. The blossoms 
are of medium size, and the petals, 
instead of being entire, are in this 
variety partly fimbriate, partly three- 
toothed, the centre tooth being almost 
twice as long as the lateral ones, aU 
distinctly bordered with white, forming 
with the bright eye and the various colours of the flowers — such as blue, red, 
scarlet, blue-marbled, red-marbled, voilet-red, purple, sahnon-red and rose — a most 
charming contrast. A First-class Certificate of Merit has been awarded to this 
novelty. Mixed Seed, all colours. Is. per packet. 
PHLOX DKUMMONDII FIMBKIATA. 
PHLOX DRUMMONDII CUSPIDATA. 
A very striking novelty of extraor- 
dinary character, selected from Phlox 
Drummondii fimbriata. The growth 
is generull3' four inches dwarfer and 
the habit more compact than that 
variety ; the chief difference, however, 
consists in the flowers, the centre 
petals, which are five in number, 
being much elongated, from four to 
five times the length of the lateral 
ones, thus giving the flowers a most 
distinct and regular star-like appear- 
ance, their attractiveness being greatly 
enhanced b}’ the broad white margins 
which border the edges of the petals. 
It has been awarded a First-class 
Certificate of Merit. This is supplied 
in the same beautiful colours as the 
variety “fimbriata.” All colours, 
finest mixed, U'. per packet.
