VARIETY AND DESCRIPTION. 
A violet variety of the preceding, useful for pots, Conservatory, or open border .. 
Herbaceous Perennial of marked beauty ; fine sky-blue Gloxinia-like flowers ... 
Ornamenta -foliaged plant, metallic bronze purple, for bedding purposes 
This section is the result of our culture and hybridisation for years. For size 
and beauty of bloom they are unsurpassed. See page 81. 
A mixture of all colours. Grand ornaments for the Conservatory 
Comprises the most superb double kinds in existence, fringed, striped, &c. 
Remarkable-looking flowers, body purple or rose, broad emerald green border . . . 
Large single flowers, delicately fringed, fine rich colours, handsome 
These varieties produce large blooms, curiously veined and interlined 
Handsome, rich, self-coloured varieties, large blossoms, smooth edges 
The markings of these excite universal admiration, endless variety 
The splendid vars. are offered separately to meet individual tastes and requirements. 
Pencilled or Japanese section, blue, delicately veined with crimson 
Scalloped Section, handsome, showy flower, rich ruby crimson ... 
Striped and barred Section. Painted with crimson, purple, violet stripes 
Green-edged Section The largest kind of the singular class, rose, edged 
Lace-edged Section, selected kinds, beautifully laced and fringed, single 
Scalloped Section, intense crimson purple, fine handsome flower 
Scalloped Section, a real beauty, colour carmine rose, delicate and chaste 
Scalloped Section, pure snow-white blossom, a gem of purity, large flower 
A special selection of colours of the good old-fashioned type which has delighted 
the eyes of previous generations. They may be treated as annual, or under 
protection during Winter as perennial ; they can be grown in the open 
ground in large masses to produce a marvellous effect. For covering old 
slumps, dwarf ruins, rockwork of every description, they will be found of 
great use. These kinds have not the great size or striking beauty of the 
Emperor Section, yet are nicely formed, of fine colour and sweet-scented, 
and where large quantities of plants are required, may be employed with 
advantage. We have seen some fine effects produced by bedding-out 
Petunias with Scarlet Geraniums, Coleus, Perilla, Amaranthus, etc. 
Contains varieties of all colours, for pots or general Summer Garden purposes ... 
Hardy Annual, a novelty of the Nemophila type, fine dark blue, great acquisition 
It is impossible to appraise too highly the merits of this lovely half-hardy Annual, 
and it may be safely averred, that in richness of colour, duration in bloom, 
profusion of blossom and general brilliancy of effect, they are peerless among 
Annuals. So generous are they in their growth, that it is hardly necessary 
to recommend any special mode of culture, other than that usually adopted 
of raising the seedlings under glass in frames or in the Greenhouse, trans- 
planting into the open when six leaves have appeared, or later if the weather 
be inclement. Usually they commence to flower in June, and continue in 
blossom until cut off by the early frosts. If the colours be well selected and 
judiciously contrasted, a bed of Phlox Drummondi will stand comparison 
with one of any other flowers whatever. See also Nos. 1 146 to 1155. 
Improved kinds in size of blossom, self colour with clearly defined eye. See pp. 42,47
