PHLOX DRUMMONDII 
GRANDIFLORA. 
The Grandiflora varieties are far superior to the ordi- 
nary strain of Phlox Driuninonclii ; the flowers, 
which are of various rich and beautiful colours, 
have in many of the varieties large and conspic- 
uous white eyes, and are scarcely inferior in size 
to the pei’ennial sorts. This improved sti’ain 
almost rivals the Verbena for bedding purposes.
