PHLOX DRUMMONDI GRANDIFLORA. 
Phlox Drummondi. 
All the varieties of this beautiful class of annuals are worthy of 
extensive cultivation, especially those of the grandiflora class, which 
produce such a charming profusion and diversity of their large beautifully 
formed and brilliantly coloured flowers. Those of the compaeta section 
growing only about four to six inches in height are also highly desirable, 
being splendid for massing or beds, or for edgings, producing an effect 
that can probably be obtained by no other plant. All the sorts continue 
in bloom for a long season, and apart from their great usefulness for 
bedding are valuable for pot culture in the greenhouse, where they will 
give a beautiful display. Sow the seeds in February, March, or early 
in April, in pans or boxes of light rich soil ; sow thinly, press down 
firmly, cover lightly, water, and place in a gentle heat. The young 
plants will be up in a few days, and soon as they can be fairly handled 
they should be pricked out about two inches apart in pans or boxes to 
strengthen, or potted singly into small pots, keep close for a few days, 
and when they are' established give abundance of air, keeping close 
to the glass to induce a sturdy growth. May is soon enough for 
planting out, and a rather dry and sunny position is to be preferred. 
The dwarf kinds should be planted about eight inches or one foot 
apart ; the others, which grow from nine inches to one foot in height, 
with a spreading habit, may be planted eighteen inches or two feet apart. 
Phlox Drummondi nana compaeta. 
A beautiful compact-growing class, many of the varieties only four 
or six inches high. Splendid for bedding, and first-class for pots or 
edgings of flower beds.

Phlox Drummondi grandiflora. 
The Orand flora varieties form a magnificent class ; the plants 
are robust in habit, and the flowers, which are of various rich 
and beautiful colours, have in many of the varieties large con- 
spicuous white eyes ; the individual blooms are of fine substance 
aud scarcely inferior in size to the perennial sorts, and are a 
decided improvement on the old varieties of P. Drummondi.
